The races continue to come thick and fast with 19 Striders running today at 3 different events. Firstly, it was an emotional day for everyone in Leeds as it was the inaugural Rob Burrow Marathon, which saw Pascale Holden & Neil Hancock both running in this race which I think has raised so far over £1 million for MND. We also had Matthew Glazier taking on the Half Marathon at the same event. Well done all of you!
Then there was 15 of us at a misty/sunny/warm Carsington Water 7.5 miler, such a beautiful location and always a fantastic event, albeit with a tough undulating race!! Thanks to everyone involved, including lots of Striders volunteering and supporting, I don’t know if I saw everyone but Alex Hall, Hannah Cartwright & Poppy, Eamonn Hughes, Paul Webster, Rob Higson, Rachel Farrow & Finlay, gave fantastic support & photography skills, sorry to anyone I’ve missed!
Well done to Kenny Malton, who was top Strider coming in 9th place and Neil Realey & Jerry Evans who came 1st in their Age Cats. Liz Phillips also came 2nd in her Age Cat, whilst knocking 2 mins off her PB and Sally Cartwright knocked 3 mins off her PB! Brilliant running everyone and such a fun morning :)
Last but most certainly not least, well done to Chris Halliday, who took on the famously tough Eyam Half! It sounds like Chris had a tough race, with cramp kicking in at 10.5 miles, but he battled on to still get round in a cracking time – well done Chris!
