Set in the beautiful grounds of Delapre Abbey, the annual Northampton Festival of Running provides a great atmosphere for runners over three distances. The 10K starts at 10am with the half and marathon distances going off at five minute intervals later.
Five NRR members took on the half distance challenge which involves six laps of course, starting outside the Abbey and heading clockwise around the lake which got muddier on each loop.
The ladies put in a storming performance! Rosanna Andrews finished in 5th position overall with an excellent time of 1:34:28 and well done to Penny Andrews who was 1st in her age category (F50) 1:48:15
Mark Kennedy was pleased with a 15th place finish in 1:44:04 and Mark Johnson was close behind in 1:46:50. Pete Moor completed the line up in 1:51:54.
This is a fantastic event with brilliant, enthusiastic marshals around the course, music to rock out to each time you pass the start finish and excellent camaraderie between runners lapping the route.
