There was a win for Spartan JOHN HARRIS in the Letchworth Round the Garden 5K. He dipped under 20 minutes for a season’s best 19:59, first male 60 plus and 24th overall.
The other Spartans racing in Letchworth were DAVID KENNEDY 22:56; MONICA SMITHSON in a new season’s best (SB) of 28:32; SAMANTHA SUTTON 33:00; JANE WHITROW 34:22; and ROGER BIGGS 43:16.
Ciaran Second In Norfolk
CIARAN McANENY ran in the Positive Steps Norfolk 100km race from Castle Acre along the Peddars Way to the North Norfolk Coast, then along the coastal path to Sheringham.
It was a long day out in the sun and he says he wasn’t quite in top form; but still finished in second place overall in 10 hours 26 minutes. Some 1 hour 30 minutes behind the winner who was in a different class on the day.
Ciaran said it was another great event again from the Positive Steps team. Lovely course (despite around six kilometres of it being on soft sand and shingle beaches) and a really friendly atmosphere.
