Her strong performance saw her place an impressive 17th in her age category from a huge field of 1,126 F35 competitors. Also taking on the Manchester challenge was Ben Snowden, who showed great grit and determination to cross the line in 3:48:33, battling through cramp along the way to secure a wellearned finish. Chiltern Ridge Classic 50km Meanwhile on Saturday saw Mark Larwood step up to a completely new distance as he completed his first ultramarathon at the Chiltern Ridge Classic 50km. The scenic but demanding route followed the Ridgeway National Trail from Berkhamsted to Wendover, with a demanding1,000 metres of elevation gain. Mark described it as “a challenging course, but with beautiful sunshine and spectacular views,” and he clearly rose to the occasion, finishing 49th overall out of 305 runners and 15th in his age category in a strong time of 5:13:37. Northstowe Half Marathon Over at the Northstowe Half Marathon, now in its fifth year, Daniel Wrigley tackled the course he described as “very flat and enjoyable,” though he noted that the extensive use of trails and field paths made it tougher than expected. Daniel said he was pleased with his run, recording a time of 1:48:36, which ranks as his thirdfastest half marathon to date. Issac also ran the Northstowe half marathon today! Lovely sunshine but a bit windy, with a large narrow trail section. 1:32:07, 9 seconds too slow to catch up to my PB. I was happy to see at the finish line a fellow NHRR! Cambridge Biomedical Campus 10K Finally, at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus 10K, race-walker Sheila Leavy delivered a fine performance, shaving 11 seconds off her personal best to finish in 1:18:40.
