Next up on our weekly review, we step down the race distance for two half marathon events;
**TUI Palma Mallorca Half marathon**
First up we travel out of the country again for the sunny half marathon from 🇪🇸Spain🇪🇸 – our sole representative this year after Team Beynon showcased it in 2023, was our half marathon expert Tracy Stevens . Tracy completed the course in a time of 2hrs 8min & 44sec in beautiful conditions. Well done Tracy! 🙌🏻
From just up the road is our next stop;
**Autumn Blickling Half Marathon**
The second part of the half marathon events from the Aylsham area hosted by EPIC Norfolk - Exercising People In Communities Norfolk is their road version of the Blickling half marathon series. The ⛰Undulating course⛰ is well known for its hill as you venture back into the market town. First home out of the 16 WACers was Josh Brown in a time of 89:56, finishing 17 overall in the process. Josh was followed home by Kevin Simpson (94:39) & Matthew Hooton (95:53) to complete our top 3 home. Our first female WACer was Christina Sharpe in a time of 1hr 53min 56sec, followed by Rosie Booth (2:00:18) & Lian Penson (2:04:56) to complete our first three female runners home.
We had two new 🚨shiny Personal bests🚨 on the day – Kevin Denmark (PB🎖️ – 1:52:09) & the newly joined Ben Shearing (PB🎖️ – 1:54:53). Our one age category placer was Graham Walsh (1:49:05) finishing 3rd🥉 M65+. Thank you again to Dreampace for their amazing photos as always! 📸📸 - Well done to all that took part! 🙌🏻
The last event to review was from ✈️🛩 Imperial War Museum Duxford 🛩✈️;
**Duxford Dash event**
The popular event hosted by Good Running Events Ltd. from the Cambridgeshire War museum includes both a 5k & 10k event – we had two members in both events. First up in the 10k event – the husband & wife duo of Graham & Jennifer Holliman completed the course in a time of 61:40 – a great effort pushing a double buggy 👨👩👧👦 in the blustery conditions! 💨💨
In the 5k event, first home was Peter Morgan in a time of 19:31 (😜🤫), finishing 2nd home overall, followed by Stephen Lee (21:55) who finished 12th overall. Well done you four! 🙌🏻
With no official photographs as of yet, we have gone with the best family photos!
