This post is well worth a “look see” but will work best on a laptop or desktop.For those of you who don’t know Bill he is one of our more senior runners and last year, Just a month after his 71st birthday he completed his 100th marathon, The Robin Hood in Nottingham, after running his first at the age of 65. Since then he has continued running more marathons of one length or another. These are the post “100” marathons and below are the “Getting There” from race 48 -100. Excellent running and best of luck for the Marathon De Sables.

103 | 31/10/2015 | Spooky Halloween | third time on this course This was really good fun requiring Halloween dress, race started at 4.30 pm which meant you were soon running in the dark this is a 32 lap trail race with two hills in it. and is quite a challenge with 64 hills, these are small but testing. These are very friendly races, with a more social atmosphere than the larger races. | great | 5.23.22 |
