The perfect conditions of the Forest of Dean brings perfect times

Nick Robinson from Torbay AAC took part in The Forest of Dean Half Marathon under perfect running conditions — bright sunshine, crisp air, and the early signs of autumn peeking through the trees.

The scenic course wound its way through forest trails, with a mix of gravel paths, woodland tracks, and the occasional challenging incline. He finished in 210th place with a time of 1.46.31

Deb Webber was also on the road but to Nottingham to take on the Robin Hood half marathon. This is one of the most scenic and iconic city routes in the UK attracting over 9200 runners. The single lap 13.1 mile course takes the runners on a journey through the rich history and beautiful green spaces of Nottingham.

Starting and finishing at the picturesque Victoria Embankment by the River Trent, the route features a mix of sights and scenery from the majestic Nottingham Castle and the famous Robin Hood statue to the peaceful paths of Wollaton Park. Deb finished in a time of 01:57:19.

Alex Snell travelled to North Devon where he took part in the Barnstaple marathon. Conditions were warm and sunny and with the flat course that runs along the River Taw, he finished in 56th place clocking an impressive 3 hours 10 minutes.
