A Good Friday Marathon and an Easter Monday 10k

Well done to members Maria Hamilton and Alex Portwine who ran the Broadmeadow Runs Good Friday Marathon, Alex reports:

“Just back from the Broadmeadow Runs Good Friday Marathon in Stratford on Avon. It was a lovely day out, in some lovely countryside…but the directions were really hard to follow, so there was lots of stopping to search for markers and so on! Ran with some lovely chaps, and we only got truly lost once! I saw a runner in a VR vest on the course, which I guess was Maria Hamilton, but she must have started later then me, as I set off in the first wave at 8am. Happy running to all of you who are racing this weekend. :)”

That was Alex’s 8th marathon this year, 18 in total, and plenty more in the pipeline!

Easter Monday 3 members met up at the Stanwick 10k with Peter Simpson cycling over through early morning fog to support, the day cleared up nicely making for some good photos.
