Sunday 28th June 2015
The multi lap half marathon grass trail at Coombe Abbey was the latest venue for a fantastic result for NRR runners. Rosanna Andrews came 1st overall in a great off-road time of 1:28:02. The result was the first time a Go-Beyond event has seen a 1st lady overall. Well done Rosanna.
Jon Dilworth battled his off-road demons to complete the course in 1:51:50 and finish 1st MV60. Epic!
Penny Andrews faced up to the challenge of a full marathon over the trail and achieved 1st FV50 and third lady overall in a good time of 3:52:25 completing a hat-trick of NRR firsts for the event.

Two Amazing Feats of Endeavor
Fell runners Martin Rowe and Jazzy Banks completed another two amazing feats at the weekend.
The 1st feat was the Wharfedale 3 Peaks Challenge, 22 mile fell race in the Yorkshire dales. Three climbs over Birks Fell (610m), down the valley up Buckden Pike (702m) and over Great Whernside (704m) then a fast downhill to the picturesque village of Kettlewell.
Five hours of running in sunshine. After a relaxing shower in the campsite, some five minute walk from the race finish the devoured pie & mushy pea lunch, tea and cake supplied as part of the £15 race fee. The rest of the day we spent in one of the 3 village pubs talking to fellow runners and supping real ale, bliss.
The second feat had to be seen to be believed and all the more impressive because we had witnessed others twice the size beaten by the sheer size of the task. After eating everything in her race bag, including a full lunch and 3 pints of Bitter. Jazzy, set out and finished the largest meat & potato pie with full accompaniment of vegetables and roast potatoes that I have ever seen. And here’s the photographic evidence.
Martin said, "I can recommend the race. The weekend is fantastic, well organised but with a laid back attitude runners and walkers can do 1 peak (6 miles), 2 peaks (11 miles) or 3 peaks (22 miles). Park the car, pitch the tent run and retire to the pub, for some awesome grub."
This was a couple of weeks after completing the Scafell Trail Marathon.

Kids' Marathon Challenge
On Sunday 7th June, 42 children entered the Kids' Marathon Challenge at The Obelisk Centre.
It was boys against girls with the boys winning a close run event by around a mere 100 meters. Both teams ran 64 laps (13 miles) making a total of the marathon distance.
Families came to watch, it was a lovely afternoon in the sun, great support from NRR marshals. Mum's race and dad's race at the end concluding with kids and big kids enjoying getting soaked with a water fight.
£434 was raised for Kidsaid, a local charity.
Massive thanks to everyone who took part and supported the event and a special mention to Paula Pinney for her tireless effort in arranging this event for the second year running.

Families came to watch, it was a lovely afternoon in the sun, great support from NRR marshals. Mum's race and dad's race at the end concluding with kids and big kids enjoying getting soaked with a water fight.
£434 was raised for Kidsaid, a local charity.
Massive thanks to everyone who took part and supported the event and a special mention to Paula Pinney for her tireless effort in arranging this event for the second year running.
Banbury 5
Round five of the East Midlands Grand Prix takes us to a lovely undulating course in Banbury.
A special mention goes out to Pete Moor who ran Parkrun Saturday, Northants Ultra on Sunday and still have enough legs left to complete the Banbury 5 in a respectable 35:29.
Great runs from everyone on quite a tough course.

Hare & The Tortoise Marathon
Well done to Sharky Cotters and John Eales who completed the five lap Hare & The Tortoise Marathon in the lovely grounds of Colworth.
It is not a surprise to hear of Sharky doing a marathon these days so he decided to add new angle to the shock factor by doing two in two days with Farthingstone the day before.
John Eales 4:34
Sharky Cotters 5:13

Farthingstone Foot Festival
Well done to everyone who completed the Farthingstone Foot Festival on 6th June. A magnificent turnout of 160 walkers and runners
enjoyed a great day in the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside.
A self navigation, laid back event was enjoyed by NRR members who ran the half and the marathon route and nobody got lost (ok some did). The half was actually 15 miles in the end but everyone was treated to food, beer and snacks at the finish line.
