The RUNdown

What a weekend … in case anyone missed it Barrow Runners had 16 members 'Go West' to Manchester Marathon on Sunday and it did not disappoint.

The RUNdown - 16th April 2023

Everyone ran an epic race with Barrow bringing home 7 PB's and 8 GFA's (Good For Age places are awarded based on qualifying times achieved and can account for automatic entry into other major marathon events, e.g. Boston, London etc.) It isn't everyone's goal to PB and completing is a win to be proud of – WELL DONE everyone - marathons are HARD! On the other side of the pond Matt King was wearing the Barrow colours at The Boston Marathon too.

It wasn't all about marathons though, we had Amber Lester once again smash out a brilliant 10K at the Leicester BIG 10K bringing home a 2nd lady placing and Angela McWilliam with 1st FV35. Finally, for a bit of fun, Andrew Price running the R in AndRew at Rother Valley park run to complete locations to spell out his name – a fun challenge for us all 😊.
