The weekend finished off in style with two excellent times from Joanne Watkins and Emily Beavis who were both running the marathon distance for the first time. To break 3.30 and 4 hours on the first attempt is amazing. Joanne also achieved a “Good for Age Entry’ for 2025 although, at the moment, she is probably saying “never again”! Joanne…

Fran (Frances Cooke) who was using this race as a build up to a half Marathon in May, finished in 46.30.

Trowse 10k – April 2024
A big turn out for the “popular” Trowse 10k on Sunday 7 April. Not one person said they enjoyed the run and we’re not surprised. We know it’s an undulating course but then add in the blustery conditions it made it impossible to run a pb time although there were some very near misses. Trophy winners were Michael, Carl, Amy…
