The RUNdown

Although wet weather greeted the return of the London Marathon to its springtime slot, this certainly didn't dampen the runners' spirits, with excellent performances all round! Will Clarke was first home for the Club in a brilliant time of 2:22:51.

The RUNdown - 24th April 2023

It was Jon Foxall's second marathon in a week after his sub three hour run at Manchester; Justine Albert achieved a PB and GFA place, and there was a fantastic six minute PB for Louise Caskey.

At the ATW Mallory Park 5k (inc. Leics & Rutland AA 5k Champs), speedy Rachel Bentley ran a 19:50 PB and gained County Bronze Award. Rachel also completed her 250th Parkrun at Beacon Hill, where Jess Necchi was first female, Mats Vermeeren ran his 50th and several others were first in age category and/or PB. Plus, there was plenty of cake to be enjoyed!
