17/04/2017 - Boston 1/2, Chasewater 10k

Race results


With the London marathon looming, it was a quiet weekend for Ivanhoe Runners but Club members still managed to find races.

In the Boston half marathon on Easter Monday, in only its second year, Alan and Karen Edwards found the flat Lincolnshire course to their liking, with Alan clocking a swift 1.42.58 and Karen 2.12.15 despite a sore knee.

In the Chasewater 10k, Ian Bolton was a fine 14th with a time of 39.18, while Andy Lindley clocked 43.41. Both of these runners were using the race as a sharpener ahead of the London marathon next Sunday.

At the Conkers parkrun last Saturday, Victoria Smith was awarded the prize as winner of the ladies point series for 2016/17, while Sarah Terry and Sarah Malone both celebrated their 100th parkruns.

And good news was received by Ivanhoe Runners Clare Fowell, who, based on her fast run in the Manchester marathon, has been asked to represent England in her age group in the Chester marathon in October.
