by Last week the March Athletics Club had many runners competing in various events.
Firstly, one of the club’s top ultra-marathoners, Alan Brown, completed the King Offa’s Dyke ultra-marathon.

The race follows the border between England and Wales and covers 177 miles. Alan demonstrated his determination and skill in such events by completing the incredibly challenging course in 77 hours and 40 minutes.
Most importantly, Alan showed everyone what a hero he was when he stopped to help a member of the public in trouble during the event.
On Saturday (31 August) a group of runners, who are currently training for the Loch Ness Marathon challenge later this month, took part in the Northstowe Festival of Running Half Marathon.
The group ran together and clocked a time of 2:39:42. Sue Ward won her age category with a strong race.
On Sunday (September 1), March had three runners in the Wissey Five Miler.
Geraldine Larham was the first to come home for the club, winning her age category with a time of 36:30, followed by her husband, Andrew Larham, just 9 seconds later.
