Shires and Spires Results

Congratulation to three of our runners for their excellent performances at the Shires and Spires event on Sunday 16th May. Jacquie Hanmer ran the half marathon distance and finished 27th overall and 2nd in her category in 1:49:39, a great time over such a hilly course. One of our new members, Ellie Baverstock finished an impressive 3rd female in the Ultra (55.5km) in 5:13:39, 1st in her category and 21st overall. And well done to Simon Poyton who finished the Ultra in 07:33:10, 177th overall and 53rd in his category. Great effort all.

Amazingly, Simon followed this up with the Salcey Forest leg of the Northants 5k race series three days later and did incredibly well to finish 34th in 24:33. Harvey Poyton led the way for the club finishing 13th in 21:19, which is an outstanding performance for a junior runner against a largely senior field. The Northants 5k race series are five races over mixed terrain and the next race is on Sunday 20th June at Boughton House.
