A stunning run at Kettering half marathon saw Michael Cheverton score a PB and fourth place overall in 01:14:04, and there was more fantastic half marathon running this weekend from Martin Mee and Kevin Gamble.
We had a whole host of age category parkrun placings on Saturday morning, most notably at Dishley, where all participating Barrow Runners came in the top three of their categories.
The cross countries kicked off this weekend with the exciting UK CAU Inter Counties Cross Country Championships at Wollaton Park where Kirsty Hillier represented Leicestershire and Rutland. It certainly didn't feel like a cross country event at Bosworth on Sunday, with the sun shining and temperatures forcing even the coldest of us into shorts and t-shirt for the first time this year. At this final cross country race of the season Jack Peasgood was the first Barrow Runner home, finishing in 3rd place overall, followed by Mats Vermeeren and Kyle Black. The team's fabulous running secured the men league one status. In her first cross country race for Barrow Runners, Liv Bent stormed home in 2nd place overall, with Rachel Bentley in 4th place, Kristie Matthaie in 10th and Justine Albert in 12th securing the ladies team second place in the cross country league. This amazing ladies score is only two points off the club's record! Cross Country Captain, Andrew Price, was toasted with a glass of mud (which was quickly replaced by prosecco) to thank him for his cross country service over the years as he steps down from his captain's role. Thank you for all your hard work sorting us out, Andrew!
Well done to everyone running this weekend!
