Great North Run 2023
It was such a long way for Michael Eccles to travel and not get the results he wanted. He finished in 1:16:01 which is quite pedestrian for him, although it was a platinum age club record. Michael’s message after the race:- “I hated every second of that, the first mile is downhill but I went up a hill at 3…
Great Yarmouth Half Marathon 2023
At the end of the race everyone seemed to be complaining about the final hill.

Reepham 10k 2023
There were a few BVH members on the entry list but Alice Grant was the only one who turned up on the start line. It’s not an official course, although probably harder because it’s off road, so for Alice to run her fastest 10k in 47.43 was good going. Well done Alice.
