Fierce Competition at the Bracknell Half Marathon!

Wow, what a great scrap in the Bracknell Half today between our two quickest men, who battled it out at near six minute mile pace throughout the race. After 80 minutes of fierce racing, Alastair McGeogh-Williams came home in 11th place in a time of 1.20.19, and close behind was Danny Mahoney with a time of 1.20.56 in 14th place, placing 3rd in the Male Veterans category.

We know that Ali's dad Nigel was out on the course, hopefully taking pictures on a lovely sunny morning, so when we have some photos you'll see them here first!

Some other super times on the day included Jenny Livesey's 1.32.34, finishing 7th overall in the Ladies' race, and 2nd senior lady. Pete Mannion ran a very quick 1.27.09, finishing in the top ten male vets and 33rd overall out of 925 finishers.

Full results were as follows - if we missed anyone, or any other new PB's, please let us know. Congratulations to all our runners!
