A marathon weekend for SLOW members
This was a weekend of big events and impressive athletic performances for SLOW members, both in national level orienteering and running.
Ed Catmur won the Great Welsh Marathon in Llanelli in a time of 2:36:45. Ed had a commanding lead, seven minutes in front of the second placed runner.
In London, four SLOW members finished within five minutes of each other:
- Ben Roberts, 2:57:06
- Evan Barlow, 2:59:14
- Dan Findlay-Robinson, 2:59:50
- Tom Cochrane, 3:00:09
An honorable mention should go to SLOW affiliate member Harold Wyber (LOK) who came 79th overall in the London Marathon with a time of 2:35:36.
Congratulations all round!
