Haresfield 5k

For those looking for a fast 5k time, the Haresfield 5k is the must-do race. Although the race profile is described as ‘undulating’, the course feels primarily downhill in the first 2 miles, leaving the last mile to push for the finish.Β 

There was a great turnout for RSE, with some brilliant times achieved!

  • Mark Garrett – 19:11
  • Nia Glover – 20:49
  • Mick Bagot – 22:54
  • Sharon Smith – 23:13
  • Alan Powderhill – 23:44
  • Steve Sandercock – 24:05
  • Zoe Markham-Lee – 25:28

Isle of Wight Half Marathon

The best type of holidays include a half marathon…

This two-lapped course starts at Appley Park, which is conveniently located just above the finish. The route is multi-terrain and undulating, but boasts some fantastic views of the Island (just check out the blue sea in Katy’s photos!)

A huge congratulations to Katy Miller who ran the course in a great time of 2:11!

The Isle of Wight is not known to be flat and this course certainly has a few of those hills! I had decided to do this with my sister back in Jan and we took the small foot passenger boat across the day before and stayed until Monday to have a little holiday! But it is a late start at 11am which does allow for travel across from mainland on the day! A relatively small half marathon organised by Ryde Harriers. Lovely course that was partially on gravel tracks and partly on road. We had beautiful weather and finished up with a dip in the sea! Showers and changing facilities at race HQ and super friendly event. No medal but a branded buff was given to all finishers!

Severn Bridge 10k and Half Marathon

Every year the iconic Severn Bridge is closed for one specific purpose – to host 100s of runners for a unique 10k and half marathon! Starting and finishing in Chepstow, Wales, the courses of both events are deceptively undulating, as runners make the lengthy climb up and over the bridge.

Congratulations to Darren Jenner, who completed the 10k course in a brilliant time of 50:56, and to Liz Hulcup, who finished the half marathon in a great time of 2:14:38!
