Race 5 - Alnwick Trail Half
Marathon – Sun 23rd June 2013
Race 5 of the 12 in this year's Grand Prix saw 20 of us heading
up the A1 to Alnwick on Sunday the 23rd of June for the
Alnwick Trail Half Marathon. The event, which is held in conjunction with
5k and 10k races, is run within the grounds of Alnwick
Castle and Hulne Park and is essentially
"off-road", being a mixture of tracks and grassland. As the web site says, there are some
challenging climbs, which are rewarded with stunning views over north
Northumberland and towards the coast, especially from the highpoint of the
course at Brizlee Tower.
First
back from Blyth was once again Peter Brown in 8th place, followed closely by
Peter Holmback and Jon French in 12th and 13th
positions respectively. Amazingly Peter Holmback ran a half marathon pb
on this very testing course and when you consider that his tapering included an
18 mile run 2 days prior this achievement is even more astonishing.
Congratulations
to Heather Christopher who was second lady overall and first F40.
Also,
a mention for Dave Kitching who completed the 10k.
The
full results can be found via a link from the Run Alnwick web site.
