Results for Bosworth half marathon, 12-May-2013

6 Sphinx AC runners took part in the rebranded Hinckley Half. The event was run over the same course as its predecessor, but numbers were significantly down over previous years. Race conditions were nigh on perfect. Meticulously organised and well marshalled with the usual “personalised” T-shirt at the finish. Well done to Paul Cozens on his “old gits’ PB” (his words, not mine) and congratulations to Fiona Quinn on completing only her second ever half-marathon despite her considerable protestations.
