Rugby Half Marathon
Five NRR members took part in the first ever Rugby Half Marathon on Sunday 13th July.
Starting in the town centre, the route headed through Rugby School before a trip out into the countryside. There were a couple of playful hills on the course and trips through Barby and Kilsby villages where locals were out to cheer on the pack. At 12 miles was a surprise lap around a running track too before a huge cheering crowd at the finish line.
All in all, the organisation was brilliant and the marshals were friendly. There was a great little race village at the finish too.
Finishers were treated to a pick and mix style buffet with jelly babies, cereals and fruit at the end plus a great medal and technical t-shirt.

Desborough 10K
Desborough 10K
You know when a race has everything? The all new Desborough 10K was lovingly crafted by the organisers to include a beautiful course - mixed with fields and road, really friendly marshals, a great atmosphere from lots of local entrants, a really good value entry fee, an excellent goodie bag (including a bottle of wine) plus the bonus of chip timing! Seriously, what more could you ask for?
Well to add to that, 32 NRR members completed the race and there were plenty of PBs to boast as well.
Well done to everyone for some great runs, special mentions to Steven Randall for his first ever competitive race and for Karen Eke for displaying the most energy overall after the event.

Triple NRR winners at Coombe Abbey.
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.
