NRR Parkrun 100 Day
Northampton Road Runners were extremely proud to help host the 100th Northampton Parkrun. Numbers of volunteers, runners and pacers attended the event sporting our famous club colours.
The day saw a record number of 322 participants turn out out to make the most of the spring sunshine. Michael Aldridge of Wootton RR also broke the course record with a time of 15:33, expertly led by Jim on the lead bike.

Oakley 20
An old favourite for marathon training, the Oakley 20 is a short journey to Bedford for a two lap affair through lovely countryside. The first lap is 12 miles and the second slightly shorter cumulating in a winding finish through a housing estate to a big cheer at the end.
Nine NRR members tried their luck on the day and there were some fantastic performances.

A Mad Sunday...

Next up, the Milton Keynes Festival Of Running. In the Half Marathon, there were some debuts and some great times. David Green finished 11th overall in 1:17:11. Well done to Ilir Brecani (1:35:50) and Lyndsey Breci (3:00:10) who made their half marathon debuts. Jon Dilworth (1:53:54) and Jo Lee (2:06:17) enjoyed great runs.
At the 10K distance, Eamon Kennedy (49:15) and Darren Windows (50:41) completed the course.

Finally to Devon for the much loved and much talked about legendary Grizzly this year named Withering Heights (Featuring Heath and Cliff!)
A trio took on the Cub Run, a nine mile loop from Seaton to Brankscombe via the pretty village of Beer (yes we need one of those at the end).
Martin Andrews finished in 1:32:17 and Jim Anderson in 1:52:04. Sandwiched between was Ronnie Ambrose in 1:43:26, making his return from injury. Ronnie's last race was the Beast in Dorset so why not pick something easy to return...the Grizzly!
The Full Grizzly takes runners another ten miles over more cliffs, more hills, more fields and add a couple of muddy bogs to make the journey more 'enjoyable'.
Matt Brand enjoyed an amazing run in 3:10:10 with Stuart Drummond and Pete Moor making their debuts (after discussing a sub 7 minute mile one pace strategy, they gave up and enjoyed the scenery). Darren Baldwin returned for his second attempt and broke four hours with 3:57:29 as did Wendy Parker 3:58:59 in her third Grizzly adventure.
Jocelyn Granger made her third appearance 4:20:30 and Suzanne Baldwin her second 4:28:25
Paul Braddock 4:28:22 and Mark Kennedy 4:38:35 raced for the medical room at the end with a cuts and bruises but both are fine. Paul holds the record for six falls in his event...that will go some way to be beaten.

Berkhamsted Beauty and Silverstone Speed
2nd March saw NRR take runners to Berkhamsted and Silverstone for two Half Marathon Challenges.
Both courses are different in many ways, Berkhamsted offers countryside views and a few playful hills both up and down. The route takes in lovely national forest and passes the Ashbridge Estate before a welcome decent in the last mile to the finish line.
Silverstone is a mutli lap course around the world famous circuit, flat and fast, although a strong headwind made this year's event a little tougher.
Jon Panter was close to a PB at Berkhamsted and Andy Cottrell nailed his at Silverstone.
