The Desborough Half Marathon made its debut on the Northamptonshire running calendar on 30th June. Organisers RAPID - Run Any Pace In Desborough put on a tough event including some challenging hills through a lovely countryside route with plenty of views to admire.
The marshals were friendly and encouraging and the race was well organised with water stops every three miles (including one at the top of the biggest climb at 10-11 miles). A great goody bag including medal and t-shire was on offer at the end with a smile from volunteers.
Top cap off a great run, the club's chairman personally congratulated everyone at the finish line and collected feedback to ensure this event becomes a regular annual offering.
Mark Kennedy completed the course in 1:43 and offered the following advice, "Don't have a curry the night before a half marathon!"
