Race Report: 10 November

​It’s a quiet Race Report this weekend, with much of the action coming from the Chiltern League and the English Schools’ regional cross country events yesterday. Keep an eye open for Steve Perkin’s report.
 
Let’s look back to last weekend. Due to the time difference, the results of the New York City Marathon came a little late for Race Report last weekend, but I am delighted to day that there was not one, but two Harriers pounding the streets of the Big Apple on Sunday 3 November. Mike ‘Tiny’ Turney completed the iconic event in 3.20.13, followed in by Angela Hughes, with a PB of 4.33.48. Well done, both!

Tim Dawson runs Black Park backwards

​Yesterday, Saturday 9 November, there were all time parkrun PBs for Ella Peters (21.43 at Rickmansworth) and Kate Loach (20.25 at Bromley). Lean Ni Chiobhain and Joanne Murray earned themselves new course PBs at Rickmansworth (21.20 and 26.52, respectively). And, finally, Tim Dawson decided that he had had enough of forward motion, and opted to complete Black Park, running backwards (!) with the help of faithful guides Victoria Lucas and Henrik Hartmann. The trio came in in 44.35. Well done!
 
And finally, today Rashila Wanninayake and Matt Robins completed the Remembrance Marathon – a lapped event along the River Thames. Rash managed her first ever sub-4 hour marathon (3.59.55, according to Strava). Official results not yet available.
