The RUNdown

There was a great mix of racing this weekend with Barrow Runners involved in a marathon, two half marathons and a sprint triathlon. There was also plenty of parkrun action.

The RUNdown - 25th September 2023

Congratulations to Nell Steel and Louise George for their incredible runs at the Berlin Marathon this weekend. Louise smashed her PB and finished in 03:42:13 and Nell finished in a brilliant 04:14:10. Well done to you both!

The Nottingham Half Marathon saw some great performances from our runners. Ollie Hatton returned to racing with an electrifying 01:19:35 and a 24th position finish, and Jonathan Dent finished in a superb 01:44:18. Great work both.

The Tolls took on the Tissington Half Marathon this weekend with Alex finishing 6th overall and 1st in age category with a brilliant time of 01:22:27. Lorraine finished in a superb 1:53:15.

Kirsty Hillier, Chris Trzcinski and Rachel Gibbs took on the East Leake Sprint Triathlon. Kirsty finished in a brilliant 01:09:20 and finished 1st in her age category and was 2nd lady overall. Chris finished in a superb 01:10:12 and Rachel Gibbs finished in a brilliant 01:28:01.

Congratulations also to all the parkrunners this weekend, with a shoutout to Rachel Bentley for finishing 1st lady and obtaining the age category course record at the University of Northampton parkrun.
