Manchester Half Marathon/Loch Rannoch Marathon/Druridge Bay Parkrun/Newbiggin By The Sea Parkrun

On Sunday 15th October 5 Harriers headed across to take part in the Manchester Half Marathon. All 5 performed well, with Richard JOHNSON and Jo GASCOIGNE-OWENS running the fastest times by Harriers over that distance this year. Richard was our 1st finisher in 83rd place overall and clocked a personal best of 1.18.25 in the process! Jo was an excellent 4th female finisher in a decent field and finished in 1.22.38. John CUTHBERT was next in a very good 1.31.31, followed by Stuart MORRIS in a morale boosting 1.40.45. Last but by no means least Laura McLEAN Jr knocked well over 3 minutes off her previous best at the distance to finish in a splendid 1.51.15.

Also that day Gay and Richard EASTOE were north of the border to take part in the Loch Rannoch Marathon. Richard was 110th finisher and 3rd in the male 60 category in 4.22.40, whilst Gay was 2nd female 60 in 4.38.00.
