Blackpool Marathon and Half Marathon
Whilst all eyes were on London last
weekend a trio of GRC members were in Blackpool competing in the Fylde Coast
Runners race weekend which saw various distances ran but for our travellers the
main focus was the marathon and half marathon. Ben Mason was first in for the
club in a respectable time of 3:55:09 a little slower than hoped but with a brisk
wind of the sea and warm conditions a good result never the less. Yvonne
Buckley also running the marathon came home in 5 hours 35mins 43secs
having completed the first 20 miles in under 4 hours but then falling victim to
injury and fatigue. Yvonne's husband Brendon opted for the half marathon and
came home in 2 hours 25 mins. 44 secs 4th position in his age category’
