Marathoners!
⭐️ Congratulations to each and every one of our marathon runners today at London, Manchester and Blackpool. You have all been amazing!
⭐️ Dave Forshaw made the sensible decision to stop halfway rather than potentially injury himself, allowing him to recover and race on another day. Respect.
⭐️ Faye Bannon, you will bounce back. You trained exceptionally hard. Norovirus just came at the wrong time. You were brave to attempt your marathon, especially still unwell on a warm day. You have the club's complete support.
Bank Holiday Easter Monday: Stretton Away Day!
⭐️ Thank you to the twenty-nine participants of all groups that ran the Stretton Away Day. I believe that everyone enjoyed this event, which we must repeat again in the future.
