Athletes of the Month for April

Juniors – Grace Faulkner

Congratulations to Grace, who competed in her first track events at the Kettering Harriers Open Meeting on Saturday 17th April along with 7 other athletes from the club.

She achieved a very commendable 2nd place in the U11s 75 metres with a time of 13:08 and followed this with 3rd place in the U11s 150 metres in a time of 28:18.

Since joining the club in February 2019, Grace has worked hard at the Monday evening training sessions and is a positive influence on her fellow runners. She loves all sports and also enjoys playing football on Saturdays.

Seniors – Bob Allsopp

Well done to Bob particularly for his strong performance at the Battle of Brampton Valley Way 28-mile ultra on 18th April, where he was the first club finisher in 17th place in an impressive 3:39:35.

Also back in March Bob managed to complete the Coggins Challenge of running 4 miles every four hours in two days – and even added the extra 4 miles on to make it two marathon distances over the weekend.

A keen advocate of barefoot and minimalist running, at the time of typing Bob has been running for a staggering 554 consecutive days.
