Despite a string of injuries hampering her preparation, Vicki Wraight was pleased to finish the BMW Berlin marathon in 4:41:26 to finish 7,073 out of more than 23000 finishers.
As Vicki said: “It’s not every day you can say you competed in the race where a new world record was set!” Kenyan, Eliud Kipchoge took an amazing 30 seconds of his own world record to finish in an incredible 2:01:09.
Carolyn Nation (Kaz) thoroughly enjoyed her run in the Trailffest half marathon in Porthmadog in Wales finishing 147th in 3:27.08 on a stunning but extremely tough course.
Closer to home, Sarah Herfet also took to the hills in the Jurassic 10k, her first proper race for months. There were a hat-trick of PB’s for Tim Sibley, Laura Kerr and Fiona Pyle in local road races. A special mention too for the inaugural junior parkrun in Axminster, with 18 runners aged 4 to 14 taking part.
