And they went to Yorkshire
Exciting and varied news with an international flavour for the second week in a row. We start with our two Sunday marathon superstars. Noel Henderson took on the Amsterdam marathon, completing the course in a time of 3:43:59 and Donna Wright earned a wonderful new PB by 20 minutes at the Yorkshire Marathon, 4:31:16 thanks in part to some special support in the final 9 miles.
Also in Amsterdam, Steve & Lisa White and Jacqui & Mark Jackson ran the Half Marathon. 1:26:16 PB for Mark, 1:46:53 Steve, 2:04:55 Jacqui and 2:57:43 for Lisa. It was a family running trip, Hannah Jackson got a PB of 36:17 in the 8K race and Melissa White did well in the junior event.
Back in the UK, Philippa Clarke was in the Yorkshire 10 mile race, finishing with a time of 1:15:18 whilst it was a PB for Lisa Edwards 1:30:53.
Emma Gilbert was at Calver for a 15.4 KM Peak autumn series event. 1:35:43 earned a silver timing award, extra impressive considering the 1200 FT of 'uphill' and added distance due to a wrong turning or two.
To 10K action and we start at Thoresby where Sara Carter finished in 58:50 and Geoff Riley in 1:10:16. 4 Striders were at West Burton power station for the EDF Power Surge 10K, no official times so watch times of 47:08 for Paul Cregg, Stephen Tomlinson 54:00, Jason Priest 59:33 and 62:49 for Chris Cregg. Kath Scott and Stacey Atkins participated in this month's Trust 10K at Clumber Park.
Finally Parkrun news and as well as Newark we ran at Bestwood Village and had a well attended club trip to Sherwood Pines.
