Weekend’s Results

19 April 2021 - By James Blackshaw

Essex Marathon & Half Marathon 

We had a number of runners at this Essex Marathon & Half Marathon. Some great results throughout, but deserving of a special mention is Peter Coates, taking on his first ever marathon and managing to go sub 3.

 

Marathon

Peter Coates – 2:53:23 – 23rd

 

Half Marathon

Rachel Dingley – 1:50:29 – 148th

Ben O’Leary – 1:50:30 – 150th

Brightlingsea Challenge

This was another of Hare & Tortoises’ excellent 6 hour lap challenge events. We had a good spread of runners aiming for different distances, with the girls all getting 20+ miles in the bag, while Mr Lilley ran two laps for the half marathon and then polished off a Mr Whippy.

Sarah Naughton 26.2 miles

Jodee Mayer – 26.2 miles

Sasha Rush – 26.2 miles

Natalie Lilley – 20 miles

Karen Flowers – 20 miles

Jason Lilley 13.1 miles

Great work all!

South Down’s Way 50

I was at this Centurion Running event on Saturday, a “50” mile run (only actually 49), with 6,500ft of elevation, over the South Downs, finishing in 9hrs and 12 minutes.

 

Dave Wright 15

Leo Cole ran this event in 1:46. Great work.

 

Well done everyone!

Please let me know if I’ve missed your race or result.
