We had a fabulous group of women down in Dublin for the BEST TIME EVER! at the Vhi Womenβs Mini Marathon. This 10k, which has been run since 1983, saw over 28,000 women running this year. Our 13 ladies made a day of it, the party starting on the mini bus down to Dublinπ. An amazing day was had, especially for mother and daughter duo Joanne W and Katie W who both brought home new pbsπ€©. Fabulous running by the ultimate girl squad π.
Two runners headed to Manchester for the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run, competing in the half marathon distance. This exciting route passed by some iconic city sites such as Man City AND Man United football grounds, and Coronation Street for those who like a different kind of dramaπ. Well done Simon M and Paul M, it looked like a great time awayπ. A special shoutout to Paul M who also ran a brilliant new pb βοΈ!
Beth G headed over to the Newmarket half marathon in England. In the heart of Sulfolk this course brought Beth along a fast one-lap tarmac course through the rolling countryside and past some iconic horse racing landmarks π. The odds were in favour of PRCβs Beth (and some great training was in her legs πͺ) and she thus ran an awesome new half marathon pb βοΈ. Great racing Beth π!
This weekend we also had Rachel W taking on the Norn Iron 100 Mini. Now, do not let the word βminiβ distort the truth that this was in fact not a short race, as it totalled an epic 37 miles π€. Rachel started her run in Dungiven and ran all the way to Gortin, and what a class job of it she did. Rachel finished 3rd female, another podium finish for a podium performance π₯. What a star β!
Taking the more scenic route, Mark W took part in the full Norn Iron 100. Again, to tell the truth and give him his dues, this race was actually 106 miles (Mark can explain how those extra 6 miles take effect). The route was a point to point run from Ballintoy to Gortin, taking in 3,800m elevation π«ͺ. His stellar endurance, whilst unfathomable to some, is a testament to his dedicated and meticulous training over the last few months. Well done Mark π€©!
Great work everyone π
