Alongside Ray O’Keefe and Fran Pryatt, I was privileged to marshal the half marathon and witness you all race past. You all went by so quickly that I don’t think we managed to spot you all; however, it was great fun cheering you on in the sunshine!
There were some great results in both the half marathon and the 10k as your combined efforts led to some brilliant team results. A huge congratulations goes to the ladies’ 10k team who stormed to first place. Kristy Gill, Eva Mion, and Sue Stockdale’s combined gun time was over 15 minutes quicker than that of the second-placed Buxton AC’s ladies’ team!
| Team | Overall Position |
| Ladies’ 10k | 1st |
| Men’s 10k | – |
| Ladies’ Half Marathon | 17th |
| Men’s Half Marathon | 9th |
5 women and 1 man completed the 10k while 14 women and 17 men completed the Half Marathon, including 6 men who completed it in less than 80 minutes! The following people also won age-category prizes: Kristy Gill (10k, V45, 1st), Sue Stockdale (10k, V50, 1st), Matt Lynas (Half Marathon, V55, 3rd), Harry Newton (Half Marathon, V85, 1st) Congratulations! A huge shout out to Eva Mion who was the first Harrier, male or female, across the finish line in the 10k according to chip time. This is a wonderful achievement for someone competing as an U20 – we look forward to seeing what you can achieve throughout the year!
