(Hot) Hinckley Half Marathon 2008

After 3 years of rain, hail and wind, a day of glorious sunshine. We had a fantastic turnout for all three races and some good results, particularly from some of the Hinckley runners. Thank you very much to all of you who who took part.

Trev has kindly provided some pics HERE.  Pics from the race are available from Paul Chilton at  www.primephotography.co.uk .

HALF MARATHON

With the temperatures as high as they were - the weather report this morning was a balmy 27 degrees - course records were unlikely to be threatened. Mark Powell the Owl took first place in the Senior Men's race in a time of 1:11:09, followed by Jeremy Bradley (Cheltenham and County Harriers) in 1:13:15 and Rob Baker (Hallamshire Harriers) in 1:14:03. In the Ladies' event Hinckley's Beth Eburne shone again taking first place in 1:19:03 ahead of Stilton's Nicola Clay (1:23:53) and Nicki Nealon from Huncote (1:25:42).

In the other categories Geoff Oliver notched up yet another first for Hinckley in the V70 class in an enviable  time of 1:45:03.

FUN RUN

Well done in the Fun Run to Dan Halliday and Katie Silke (both from Hinckley Running Club) for taking first places in the Men's and Women's races respectively. Dan was ruled out of the half a couple of weeks ago with an ankle niggle, but ran a very respectable 16:38, over a minute ahead of second place. Katie regained her place at the top of the ladies' event after last year's absence with a time of 19:39.

KIDS KAPER

In the Kids Kaper the Blythes from Tamworth AC swept the over year 4 board, Aidan taking the boys in 5:04, and Corinne the girls just behind in 5:11. It's not often you see a one two - or a one one - in a race!Second in the boys went to Samuel Elliott in 5:16, and in the girls to Georgia gatside in 5:26.

Hairy McNair's Humungous Hobble

Only 850 miles to go...Just as a head's up as to what is coming in the next month or two.

Our Hairy Chair Rob has decided to run the 850 miles from Land's End To John O'Groat's. The Big Hobble will take place starting on the 21st July and will finish sometime in early August.

Details of the route will be posted here in the next week or two, and Rob (and Niki) will be posting pictures and other information on Rob's travels during the event here once Rob gets underway. If you want to join up with Rob at any point on the route you'll be able to work out where he'll be on any given day. We're sure he'll be glad of the company. (There are mutterings of 8:30 pace miles; just bear in mind most days that'll be about 50 miles....)

Rob will be running to raise money for ADAPT, a support network for families in Leicester/ Leicestershire & Rutland who have had either a premature baby or baby needing special neonatal care. This support is available when a baby is in a neonatal/special care baby unit and afterwards when the baby is home with his/her family. If you want more details on the support ADAPT provide, and the projects they are involved in, please visit their site HERE.

Rob has also set up a donations page. If you would like to support ADAPT through Robert’s run please follow the link HERE to make a donation.

Good luck, Hairy One!
