Berkhamsted Half

Ten Northampton Road Runners made the short trip down the M1 to the beautiful Berkhamsted Half event now in its 31st year.  The course takes in three challenging climbs but finishes with a fast downhill final mile.  The route cuts through picturesque villages and the Ashridge Estate.

On the course, Mark Kennedy finished strongly to knock a minute of his half marathon PB in 1:33:17.  Terry Begley was close behind in1:35:13 and Mark Garrett, still recovering from the 26 miles of the Belvior Challenge crossed the line in 1:39:14.  Peter Moor recovered from a quick Parkrun the previous day to finish in 1:39:54.

Roger Taylor was delighted with a 1:42:18 finish and Jocelyn Granger knocked over three minutes off her PB in 1:47:44.  Rob Donovan finished in 1:48:49 and Tom Sullivan enjoyed a good run in 1:52:22.  Mary Sullivan was close behind in 1:58:15 and Sally Garrett has become a new fan of the half distance completing her third in just over a month 2:44:27
