| Sam and Jack |
Brothers Sam and Jack Dodwell represented
Grantham Running Club at the 36th Windsor Half Marathon, which took
place on Sunday 30th September. One of the country’s longest
established races, the event is held in the iconic Windsor Great Park. The
constantly undulating course features only one troubling hill near the end of
the race and has one of the longest and most visually stunning finishing
straights in road racing along The Long Walk with Windsor Castle in full view
beyond the finish line.
It was Sam’s first attempt at a half
marathon although, somewhat unusually, he has previously completed the London
Marathon. He finished in a highly respectable 1:54:32, finding the scenic
course a pleasure to run around.
Jack was eager to better his previous half
marathon best of 1:38:36, set at the Rock and Roll Liverpool Half Marathon back
in May. The hard work he has put in to his recent training paid dividends as he
crossed the finish line with a near two minute PB of 1:36:49. After the race
the brothers paid tribute to the great crowd support, who were cheering on
members of Grantham Running Club from as far away as the outskirts of London.
