Result for the Chester marathon, 08-Oct-2017

October 9, 2017

Thanks to James Abrams for the following report: just completed my 3rd marathon at Chester which course wise turned out to be the toughest!my research told me different. Still a new challenge with a few lumpy bits thrown in after mile 20 (just what you want!). Lots of nice country lanes after the usual city start of a tour of the city. They run a metric marathon at the same time so they are sharing the back end of the course meaning a lot fresher runners seem to be flying pass me.

Results for the Ston (Croatia) Marathon and 15km, 30-Sep-2017

October 2, 2017

Thanks to Phil Wilson and Steve Court for the following reports: PW: Ston is a small town approximately 40 miles north of Dubrovnik in Croatia. Ston has the longest town walls in Europe, second only to the great wall of China, and it also holds a marathon which involves running along the walls. So a group of Sphinxies thought we would give it a go. Myself, Stuart, Bryan and Scourty ran the marathon and ex Sphinxie Garry Capell ran the 15K.

Congratulations and well done to Thomas Ementon on his PB at Coventry. Also at Coventry, whilst on a flying visit to Coventry, former Sphinx Quentin Henry and his wife Camille ran Quentin’s favourite parkrun course (see picture below)! To quote Laura P-D: They’ve just left for the airport after being stuffed full of typical British food - we had cream tea, curry at the Dhaka Dynasty and today, roast beef!

September 26, 2017

Well done to Garry Barnes and Al Harris on completing this 20-mile race, with it being Al’s first 20-mile race. Thanks to Garry Barnes for the following report: Organised by “the race organiser” this event includes a 10km and 10 mile option along with the 20 mile 4 lap race Warm conditions and a welcome breeze in places made for nice conditions although very tough psychologically being a lap event and going past the 19 mile board 4 times until it actually means only 1 mile to go does tend to grate a little.
