Glover makes top 3 in weather affected Stratford Race

The organisers of the annual Shakespeare marathon and half marathon took the decision to cancel the full race just minutes before the scheduled start, but this did not stop Anthony Glover, who was only entered for the half! Despite the atrocious weather conditions Anthony battled round in a great time of 1.18.02, which secured him 3rd place overall, on a day when people were several minutes down on their normal times.

Anthony commented that for the first half of the race it looked like a sub 75 would be comfortably on the cards, and then unfortunately the wind arrived!

Still a great effort, especially from a vet!!!

Stratford Half

A bit of a trek from Bristol, but it didn't stop two Harriers taking part in the annual Shakespeare 1/2 marathon. Rich Collinson continued his return to form with a 1.18.42 for 6th place, whilst David Taylor ran 2.02.27. Well done guys! The race itself was won by Coventry Godiva's James Griggs in 1.13.43, with Kenilworth's Phil Gould second in 1.16.54. Full results are here.
