Easter Weekend Running

Stevenage Half Marathon – Easter Monday
Easter Monday saw Rhia Botha crowned fastest female at the Stevenage Half Marathon, producing an outstanding time of 1:31:10 despite using the race as a marathon training run. She was joined by several North Herts Road Runners clubmates, all delivering impressive performances:
James Denselow finished in 1:27:36, followed by James Smith in 1:28:50 and Isaac Mateu Soler 1:36.02.

First Saturday of the Month – Easter Edition, Letchworth Common
Saturday brought the Easter edition of the club’s popular First Saturday of the Month (FSOTM) event on Letchworth Common. A total of 44 runners, alongside numerous canine companions, tackled the picturesque two-lap course. Spirits were high, with home‑baked Easter cakes awaiting participants at the finish line.
Steven Bennett secured his first win at the event after several near misses, with Phillip Brunton taking second place and Ian Datlen finishing third. Hannah Ridley led the North Herts Road Runners women as first female finisher.
A standout moment of the morning came from Archie Dawson, who ran in a full Easter Bunny onesie. Finishing an impressive fifth, he earned the loudest cheers from spectators on a warm and cheerful morning.
