Race results


On Friday 11th July a small Ivanhoe Team ran the Whissendine 6ix and had a very successful night. New member Dave Hobbs finished 13th in his first ever 6 mile race, with a very fast time of 38m 45s. Second for Ivanhoe was Kev Wright, running another solid race to 21st place with a time of 40:42. Becca Hallam continued her string of fine form finishing 2nd lady and 24th overall, recording a Personal Best by over a minute in the process (41:07). She proudly received a pair of crystal glasses to add to her ever growing trophy collection. Next for Ivanhoe were Andy Lindley and Laura Graves (57th and 58th, 45:29 and 45:31). Andy ran the race with Laura to try and encourage her to achieve Ivanhoe’s Diamond Standard time. Laura ran exceptionally well to beat the required time, achieving a new Personal Best in the process. A pleasant surprise was to come later, when Laura was announced as 1st Lady Veteran finisher. She too received some crystal glassware. Duncan Ross was the next Ivanhoe home, 72nd place in 47:45. Finally Kevin Marsh and Angela Wheeler ran together, finishing 114th and 115th, with Kevin encouraging Angela to a new Personal Best of 54:18. The unusual reward for finishing the race was a bottle of beer and a commemorative glass courtesy of the race sponsors, Grainstore Brewery!
