 Vitality 10k Daniel Wrigley ran the flat and fast Vitality 10K in London taking in sights such as the Mall, Trafalgar Square, St Paul’s Cathedral and Big Ben before finishing in front of Buckingham Palace. Daniel said the event had a great atmosphere with 20,000 runners and plenty of support on the route! He managed a 10k PB of 45:57, beating his time for the same event last year by 2 minutes. Baxters Loch Ness Marathon Richard Webber, Lucy O'Connor and Mel Flynn travelled North, across the border, to take on the awesome Baxters Loch Ness Marathon. They described it as a truly beautiful course, with an amazing backdrop, but a series of challenging undulations and hills which pushed them to their limit. Richard was delighted with his time of 3:55:39 (not quite a PB but very close to his other 2 marathons from 2022). Lucy finished in an impressive 4:07:18 while Mel, running her first marathon for over a decade, finished in an excellent 4:44:37 (a 43 minute PB!). They all highly recommend the event agreeing it was one of the best races they have ever done, despite being rather sore afterwards.  River Ness 10k Whilst not matching the challenge facing the Loch Ness marathoners, Brian Judkins and Linda Aird took part in the River Ness 10k today. In brilliant highland sunshine, and with stunning views of the surrounding hills, this well organised and supported point-to-point race started from Inverness Royal Academy - an initial uphill had them wondering if more was in store, but the route proved to be a fast one, with lots of lovely downhill running, and a largely flat second half as we headed back into Inverness along the beautiful River Ness. Linda commented that as value for money goes, this race delivers with a very nice t-shirt, medal (with lovely tartan ribbon) and a full goody bag with Baxter's soups, Erdinger beer, Taylors coffee bags and fruit. She was pleased to finish in her fastest 10k time for this year in 58:01. Brian also had an enjoyable run, clocking 1:16:34.  Hitchin 5k Twelve squirrels stayed local, taking on the twists and turns of the Hitchin town centre 5k in good running conditions. Saskia Thompson finished first in the F20 Age category and fourth overall with a time of 21:08 while in the team competition Ben Snowden (20:11), Ian Harvey (21:11) and James Dalton (21:12) placed third while Steve McKeown (19:53), Sam Whitmore (20:03) and Darren Matussa (20:09) came second. Sam Whitmore's 20:03 was a personal best by some margin and also a club record in the MU19 category. Lindsay Cook was one of those who took part in Hitchin 5km today, despite being beaten by all 3 of her children, she was pleased with her fastest 5km since 2016 of 28:33.
