Norton 9 – 1 March 2015
Brutal conditions for this favorite local race, the gale force wind hindered the runners for about 80% of the race with the only help the wind offered was in the first and last miles. Our thanks to Askern for arranging another great race, be sure to enter the Askern 10k.
Lots of PB’s for the unusual distance of 9 miles and some new to the distance. Some of the team incorporated an 18+ miles long run into the race and things are looking very good for the marathon training they are doing.
