19/11/2017 - Brecon Ultra, Dirt 1/2, Bradgate


With most of Ivanhoe Runners enjoying a run or walk in Bradgate Park in memory of club member Brian Gough who passed away earlier this year, there were just a handful doing races this weekend.

Inevitably one of them was Ian Kirk, not content with weekly marathons this week taking on the Brecon Beacons ultra race, 46 very tough miles. Ian completed this in 9 hours 20 minutes, slightly slower than last year. 

Jenna Morgan completed her first ever half marathon, again an off-road event, the Dirt Half Challenge. This starts in Leighton Buzzard and takes in canal towpaths, tough hills and country parkland. Jenna finished in an excellent 2.02.42, exactly half way up the 800 strong field.
