Race Reports

It was another busy weekend for the Club’s runners with some terrific performances in conditions not experienced for some time. Leading the way was Rob Eaton in the Paris Marathon with his tremendous 02:40:00 being the Club’s fastest and third sub 3 hour marathon this month. Also well worthy of mention are Gareth Watkins excellent 10^th place finish in the Derby 10k in 34:24 and Andy Hawtin’s 4^th place finish in 29:40 in the Club’s own race,  the ‘Run in the Forest 5’.
