This was the last race in the series and with the overall prizes being awarded we were hoping for some success and we were not disappointed. Sam Coyne, in a very close finish and on his first running of…

Cambridge Half Marathon 2018
The severe weather conditions obvioulsy hadn’t hit Cambridge as badly as Norfolk as the roads were relatively snow free. We were dreading the freezing temperatures but in the end the conditions were more or less perfect which made for excellent times for the two BVH members running. Sam Coyne certainly made use of the hard winter training with an outstanding…

Freethorpe 10 Miles January 2018
The Freethorpe 10 miles also turned out to be a challenge with very high winds making the running far from easy. Scott Walford was 8th overall and 1st M45 in 58.09 which wasn’t far off his pb time and considering he had fallen down the stairs the night before and bruised his coccyx was an excellent result. Craig Bowen-Jones on his first…

His time over the very wet and muddy 15k course was 59.56. This was 201…
