Another busy week for the good folk of Running Forever, who were out and about spreading the word about what a great Club this is.Emma Greig finished her epic 300k Northern Traverse after 102 hours of slogging up hill and down dale. Her reward was to dabble her toes in the North Sea and a well earned pint of rehydration. Epic stuff!
It was a fine night for the Fyne Night Run at the weekend with six members taking part in their Channel Events nighttime challenge. Fintan Murray finished in 49.21, followed by James Palmer (62.52); Helen Prescott (65.53); Geri Fagan (85.10); Lisa Windsor (90.39) and Sarah Holloway (93.56).
It was a trip to the seaside for James Lewes and Rosie Benneyworth on Sunday. They clocked 3.32 and 5.35 respectively in the Brighton Marathon. With James’ daughter Tess also taking part.
The interestingly named Dorset Ooser marathon saw Peter Hall finish in 5.49 and Richard Hill in 6.12.
An epic 82 mile challenge for Robin Upton at The Oner where the organisers had decided to combine a 3 day event on the Jurassic Coast into a single 24 hour challenge. Robin clocked in at 22.45 to beat the clock with time to spare.
Down in Cornwall Peta Aspden completed the An Res Hellys 10 in 1.44, hope there was a pasty at the end!
Our parkrunners went to the ends of the earth this week with Dave Loader running in Queensland’s South Bank event. Closer to home, tourists were in Town Moor, Comeston Lakes, Woolacombe Dunes and Clevedon; with a great turnout at Longrun Meadow.
We’re on medal count this week as Georgina Brice will be running 10 marathons in 10 days. Four down so far and we know she’s going get the set.
