Congratulations to Amber Lester for her stellar first place in the Run Leicester 10k! Ten more members competed at the event, most of them taking on the half marathon distance. Two runners just missed out on a sub 1:45, no doubt cursing the hill at the end.
For those who prefer softer ground there was the Dovedale Dash in the Peak District, where several Barrow Runners competed and Tim Hartley conquered a podium spot.
As usual there are plenty of parkrun results to report as well. A rather large number of us headed to Beacon Hill, perhaps to recce it ahead of next week's club championship event.
