Six Northampton Road Runners made the Eurostar trip to Paris for the Marathon event on 7th April. The beautiful route takes in the sights including Champs Elysees, Louvre, Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tour (of course) as well as two huge parks before finishing in front of Arc De Triomphe.
Mark GARRETT enjoyed a storming run finishing in 3:21:41 and Mark KENNEDY clocked a marathon PB in 4:03:39. Mick CLARKE crossed the line in 4:31:03 just ahead of Mary SULLIVAN in 4:37:49. Jim ANDERSON enjoyed a time of 4:46:29 and star of the day was Sally GARRETT, completing her first ever marathon in 5:49:07.

The NRR trip was completed the following day when the super six plus supporters Tom Sulli and Jules Kennedy climbed the Eiffel Tour. The NRR banner was confiscated and maybe to never be seen again. Mick wooed the locals with his dodgy French accent and Jim fitted into the Parisian style with his beret.
