Blisworth Five

The Blisworth Friday Five normally hosts a 5K in May but this year the five mile event was swapped into its place to accommodate the East Midlands Grand Prix to replace Bedford.  A challenging, undulating course was visited by 16 Northampton Road Runners on a blustery, wet Friday evening.

Tony Letts finished 35th overall and was 4th M45 in  29:43.  Matt Brand continued his excellent form with a 31:36 finish and was only a few seconds ahead of Stuart Drummond in 31:52.  Pete Moor finished strongly in 32:42 (is he doing the Parkrun the following day???).

Penny Andrews was first lady home for the club in 36:21 (3rd F45 overall).  Darren Byfield and Charlotte Yarker enjoyed a battle to the line with only one second between them 38:31 and 38:32, Beckie Hollowell was also very close behind in 38:50.

Jo Lee also enjoyed a good run in 39:10 with Tony Kennedy (39:52) and Andy Cottrell (39:53) also breaking 40 minutes.

Eamon Kennedy finished in 40:08 ahead of Tom and Mary Sullivan 45:07.  Colin Bricher 46:38 and Jo Cummings 49:14 completed the line up.
