Harby Clockback 10K

Seven members of Grantham Running Club took part in the Harby Clockback 10K on Sunday 27^th October. The low key local off-road race was made more all the more challenging by the volume of rainfall experienced in recent weeks, although the race itself was run on a fine, sunny autumnal morning. 

First home for GRC was Daniel Howson, who ran well to finish 27^th overall in 52:50. He was followed by Michelle Parczuk in 54:11 who was 33^rd overall and seventh female finisher. Sinead McDonnell was 62^nd in 60:30; Rachel Varela 84^th (66:46); and Victoria Ball one place behind in 66:46.

The race marked a most welcome return for the club’s outstanding runner of 2018 Julie Braker, making her first race appearance of 2019 having suffered a very serious leg injury back in March. Running with her husband Robert, they finished together in 112^th and 113^th positions respectively in 75:03.

The race was won by Oliver Matharu in 37:49 with Hannah Simpson the winning woman in 47:08. There were 128 finishers.
