Silverstone 10K
Despite driving rain (get it) at Silverstone on 6th May, 17 NRR members turned out for the opening event of the East Midlands Grand Prix series.
The flat and fast course will not have been helped by the weather but there were some great runs all the same.
Tony Letts finished 31st overall in 36:50 and Tom Smith in 40:53 with Dan Gosling (41:15) and Richard Wild (41:27) enjoying a close battle.
Adrian Tuck was next in 43:21 ahead of Pete Moor, just returning from his European adventure at the weekend in 44:39. Dave Whatton had a good run in 44:48 and Sarah Jones, first lady home for the club, was next in 45:52.
Darren Byfield showed good recovery from London with a 47:05 finish and Jon Dilworth finished his second 10K in three days in 47:58. Andy (Sharky) Cottrell treated this as a recovery run from Prague (surely) in 48:55 and next was Caroline Powell in 51:21.
Eamon Kennedy finished in 51:26 followed by Mark Lewis in 52:44 and Mary Sullivan in 54:34. Jo Letts (58:02) and Carole Whatton (64:33) completed a brave line up whilst the rest of us were running round Harlestone Firs.

Neolithic Marathon
Walk it or run it! Even run and walk it, they all work. The Neolithic Marathon sounds tough and a route around Stonehenge must be.
Darren and Suzaane Baldwin completed the route with Darren getting round in 4:48 which he says is a PB, despite the hills and sticky mud. Paula Pinney took the walking option and rumours have it that Dave Solly took the driving option. This has yet to be confirmed.

Milton Keynes Marathon & Half
The Milton Keynes Bank Holiday Marathon Festival is short distance for Northampton Road Runners and five of our members made the trip.
The event is well supported and takes in a boring but flat half of the course for those seeking a potential PB but a few sharp twists and turns can soon throw your pace off balance.
Starting at some stadium in Milton Keynes, the route heads towards the centre along dual carriageways and around many of the infamous roundabouts and offers plenty of room for runners as the field starts to spread out. After a few squares around the centre with a great atmosphere, the route heads back on itself before splitting at 10 miles for the marathoners to take in a more scenic route heading to the country.
The half teases runners by going past the finish, then the prettiest part of the course around a lake and then back into the stadium for a grandstand finish for a great reception.
The route is lined with enthusiastic locals ready to cheer everyone on in the May Day sun. Two miles from the end was a lively group offering runners a cup of beer should they need one.
There were some great performances from our members. Eamon Kennedy decided to celebrate a well earned week off and then lacing up again to complete his second marathon in just over a week in 4:12:47.
John Eales was almost bang on five hours with a time of 5:00:13. Star of the day was Keren Irving, winner of the club place. She smiled her way around the course to complete her first marathon in 5:21:33 and looked like she loved every minute of it.
In the half distance, Mark Kennedy enjoyed a great run with a PB of 1:32:33, finishing 84th overall. Cathy Millar completed her second half marathon challenge in 2:27:51

Sharky in Prague - The Next Chapter
Sharky completed 15th marathons in 12 months and the new challenge begins again with number one - a trip to Prague, his time 4:21:39.
A phenomenal achivement and an enjoyable journey for Sharky who has written himself into NRR folklore. What a way to celebrate, Czech lager ... less than a pound a pint!
