Results for the Grandborough h/c, 19-Apr-2015
This year’s handicap races got underway over the gently undulating course near Grandborough. Although there is a competitive side to the races the series also provides an opportunity for a social run or to use the race for training or for newer members the chance to run the distance in an informal competition. Once again the handicap series proved to be popular with old and new members alike as a record turnout for Grandborough of 36 runners took part, with 14 of those running the course for the first time.
Winner of the first race of the year was Andy Norton who finished in 37:16 over 5 minutes quicker than his estimated time.
The next race is on Thursday 14th May at Brinklow starting at 7:00.
