Well done to Gavin, Ian, Matt and Gary who completed the Valentine’s Stratford Marathon, their 2nd marathon of the year. By all accounts a somewhat muddy affair on a windy day. Keep going boys, only 12 more each to do and surely they can’t get any harder than this one!
Well done to everyone who took part in the Bourne Woods Frostbite, making it through the muddy course! Seniors finished 11th overall, with a great performances from leading men James Mogridge (5th) and Mike Morley (38th). The Juniors finished 9th with Charlie Evans the first Yaxley boy to finish and Rhiannon Loutit the first Yaxley girl.
It would be great to have a good club turn on for the final Frostbite race at Hinchingbrooke School on 2nd March.
Well done to all the runners who took part, there were some great times, with Aaron Scott breaking the course record to finish in 1:18:26. First lady home, Philippa Taylor in 1:33:42.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the Folksworth 15 a great success today, including all the supporters, marshalls and everyone else helped out in many different ways.
