Results for the Edgehill Half-Marathon, 06-Jul-2014
A nice venue, a scenic course through the Warwickshire countryside and a meticulously organised event. So similar to Kenilworth half, with a hill start, then a rapid downhill section at mile 2, followed by a picturesque but relatively flat route meandering through local villages, finishing with the same hill on the way back in at mile 12, but with a fast finish back into the grounds of Compton Verney House.
Congratulations to two relatively new Sphinx runners – David West on a very respectable 1:49 time on his half-marathon debut (which followed his Park Run PB yesterday at Brueton) and Tracy Avill on an excellent time of 1:43 (4th in her category and 8th female).

It was another event-filled Saturday morning. There wasn’t a Coventry parkrun, due to the Godiva festival, so 25 Sphinx AC runners/family/friends scattered throughout this green and pleasant land. London (a trip organised by our friends at Massey’s) and Northampton were visited along with more local options. Brueton produced a win in the form of Ashley Miles, along with no fewer than 5 PBs.
