Results for Luton marathon, 18-Nov-2012

Three Sphinx AC runners completed this lacklustre marathon, with Andy Lovelock storming home in his first ever marathon event. Official results are here: http://www.sportsystems.co.uk/ss/results/Luton%20Marathon/1044 46 3:09:16 Andrew Lovelock Senior Men368 4:14:04 Mitch Timms MV 50-54369 4:14:05 Jackie Timms FV 45-49 Mitch said: Perfect conditons, no wind, no rain, sun shining, 8 degrees C. Tedious three-lap course, slightly undulating, but no ‘stinkers’. Well organised and very supportive marshalls. Delightful village of Streatley, however drab shop-loading areas, subways and housing estates made this an instantly forgettable run.

Twenty Sphinx AC men ran the first of this season’s Birmingham & District XC races at Newbold Comyn in Leamington Spa.
