A large Northampton Road Runners contingent took part in the Run 10 Northamptonshire on Sunday 3rd October. The new route began at Sixfields Stadium and took in a tour of the town centre before returning to a grandstand finish just outside the main stand. Luckily the weather held out and the rain didn’t arrive until afterwards. This year’s organisation was near perfect as around 2000 people lined up for a staggered start with the 5K going off first followed by the 10K.
Maree Jesson was first home for the club with a great time of 40:31 and Ronnie Ambrose wasn’t far behind in 42:04. Next a storming run by John Fleming as he chalked up 42:52 and Jo Windrum flew over the line in 44:33. Mark Kennedy finished in 44:38 just ahead of Nigel Osbourne in 44:59. Richard Franks and Dave Knowles crossed the line in 46:59 and 47:13 respectively followed by Ruth Court in 47:11 and Tom Sullivan in 49:17.
Mark Glenn chalked up a PB with 49.35 and Darren Byfield was close by in 50:52. Another PB for club newboy Jim Anderson with an impressive 51:17 and Darren Baldwin finished in 52:06. Next home was Rob Donovan in 52:12 and Wendy Parker in 52:06. Jocelyn Granger finished in 51:49 and Sue White in 53:09. Micky Bhogal braved the drizzle to finish in 53:48 and Mary Kingsnorth recorded a very respectable 53:18. More of the ladies followed with Gemma Francis 56:17, Claire Mcdaid 57:15, Mary Davies 57:24, and Jo Cummings 57:32.
Martin Adams, Suzanne Baldwin and Louise Adams all finished together in 1:00:25 a second ahead of Miles Billingham in 1:00:26 and close by was Helen Belk 1:01:52 and Keren Irving 1:09:20. Claire Spokes made her return to racing following a back operation and was delighted to finish in 36:31 and be part of a winning 5K team called “Dead On Arrival.”
There were plenty of NRR supporters on the day, Pauline Horne was spotted in the crowd and Mick Clarke and Spike were on hand with the teardrop banner to cheer us all at 1K and also at the finish.
