Thanks for coming especially after a hot bank holiday weekend! Thats all of you, runners, marshals, JB Trustees, family and friends.

This was the 33rd Jack Bloor Races, wow what an achievement. See you all next year and bring some friends.

We caught up with Rosie after the race and this is what she said:

Really really glad I ran, I've had some trouble with my shins recently and am racing the Leeds Half Marathon at the weekend so I had planned to be resting, but last minute decided to race. It was really exciting having a good bunch of ladies to race at the front to race with, it made it extra fun. I felt good all the way round and just decided to push for it once we got out onto the paving slabs. The bog near the end was an extra challenge - but not as hard as trying to get it all off, I think I still have brown ankles now! Overall a great race, a great atmosphere on the course with support all the way round (great for a work-night race) and at the finish. Add in the free beer and cake stall = perfect evening, thanks everybody. Now for the Half Marathon, and then lots of long running to prepare for the Pyrenees - huge thanks again to the Fund for awarding me a grant, I can't wait!

Thanks,

Rosie
