PC Joe O’Brien was a local beat policeman in Ernsford Grange who was tragically killed 28 years ago while directing traffic during a road race. This race is held annually in his memory and actually consists of two races – one for the local feeder schools for Ernsford Grange and one for guest schools. The first race on Saturday was for the feeder schools and included Joseph Gilkes who goes to Clifford Bridge School.
At least 26 Sphinx AC runners completed the hottest half marathon on the planet*. The actual number of Sphinx AC runners may be higher as the organisers definitely haven’t maintained their database and correcly assigned all runners to their nominated clubs.
