It was another outstanding run by Colin Hughes at the Skye Half Marathon on Saturday 14th June, finishing in 1:28:49 to take 1st MV60. Colin was actually faster than the MV50s too, which is quite a feat on a tough, undulating course in warm conditions.
The following day, Sunday 15th June, saw the amazing Poppy Bowie run her latest marathon at Lake Windermere. Another tough hilly course, but nonetheless an outstanding run again by Poppy, and a brilliant PB performance in 3:23:42, to finish 2nd lady overall and 1st FSnr!
Lastly, Iain Murphy ran in an amazing event on Sunday too. The (Broloppet) Bridge Race 2025, a Half Marathon of 40,000 runners that started in Tårnby, Denmark, going through the 4k tunnel, 22m below sea level, over the artificial island of Peberholm, then up onto the 57m high Øresund Bridge, finishing near Malmo, Sweden. This was the first time that the bridge has been open to pedestrians in its 25 year existence. As usual, Iain ran a great race, despite a strong headwind, to finish in 1:20:27. Not bad considering his second place finish at Malmo parkrun on Saturday!!
