Andy, Ninj, Jane and the Timms’s completed this half-marathon, complete with historic quote above the bar (see pictures). I can imagine Mitch, with his quiz-master’s instinct, posed the question of how the quote links to a famous English rock band.
It was a bumper Coventry half-marathon with 42 Sphinx runners, PBs, birthdays and milestones. There were PBs for Darren, Kevin, Will, Laura, Steve, Lisa, Jon, Imran and Mary – well done!
It was also Karen’s 150th half-marathon and Dorota’s birthday.
In the Schools’ Challenge, Lacey Abbott was the first girl over the 1 mile course – well done, Lacey!
Ninj, Andy and Jane completed the 33rd running of this half-marathon in Cheshire.
9 Sphinx runners completed this festive-themed half-marathon.
Ian Cunningham has sent in the following race report:
I completed the Beacon Trail Half Marathon on Sunday in 2hours 10 minutes 10 seconds finishing 185th out of 295 finishers.
The event was in the Beacon Hill Country Park Leicestershire.
A two lap course within the country park which the race organisers describe has several fast down hill descents or as Runners world describe a very tough course.
All I can say is that I was completely knackered at the end and still have sore legs 24 hours later.
We have the following report from Andy Mc:
2 PBs for me and Will Robertson who ran in Jane Edwards place.
Perfect conditions on the day and a good quick course just a shame it’s all uphill on the last mile home
Ian Cunningham completed this half-marathon on Sunday, describing it as:
Great event along sea front and up and down both Boscombe and Bournemouth Piers

Mitch and Jackie completed this unique event in Wales, described as:
The Trailffest half marathon is one of the most scenic you could hope to run, with dramatic changes of scenery and terrain the whole way to the finish line.
With the start up in the mountains at 710 feet elevation and the finish down by the sea, it may sound easy – but don’t be fooled! There are some very steep and challenging climbs along the way.
The adventure starts in the rugged slate town of Blaenau Ffestiniog lying at the foot of the Moelwyn mountain range and finishes by the sea in the pretty harbour town of Porthmadog.
Andy, Mitch and Jackie lost some of their vowels as they crossed the border and completed the scenic, Welsh, Lake Vyrnwy half on Sunday.
