Sunday 12th June saw the first running of the Alexander The Great Half Marathon at Stanwick Lakes. The whole event also included 5K and 10K options. Two NRR members decided to take on the half challenge which consisted of two laps of the lakes and an out and back route along the old railway line (also twice). Although the scenery was nice and peaceful, a lack of marshals meant the route was mainly signposted requiring optimum concentration. Not easy in the rain and wind and meant a wrong turning for Jo Windrum on the second lap had her taking a little short cut. The results still show her as first lady home in 1.36.50 and 7th overall. Mark Kennedy also completed the route (all of it) in 1.39.07 and finished 8th overall.
The event has so much potential and will hopefully be a smash in the future.
7th - Jo Windrum 1.36.50 (can she count this as a PB)?
8th - Mark Kennedy 1.39.07
