Droitwich Half Marathon – 3 March
Those long Sunday runs are clearly paying off as three of our distance team set PBs at the Droitwich Half Marathon on Sunday. Russell Simpson was first home for the club in a PB of 1.17.24. Colin McAuley slashed 4 minutes off his PB to finish in 1.21.27, whilst Mark Rickards knocked 3 minutes off his previous best to finish in 1.23.44.
Steve Marklew and Paul Terleski also had decent runs finishing in 1.18.07 and 1. 20.33 respectively. The full results are available here.
English National XC Championships – 23 February
Well done to the hardy group of athletes who made the long journey North for the National XC Championships in Sunderland. As with many races this year conditions (snow and mud this time) did not make for easy running! The highlight for the club was a 5th place finish by the junior women, with Katie Ingle 11th, Megan McBrien 18th and Miranda Stoddart 65th. The team was only 1 point behind the 3rd place team.
Well done to everyone else who competed. Videos of the races are available on the Athleticos website here. Results are available here.
