Despite the disappointment of Sunday’s PGER half-marathon being cancelled, Halmer Harriers had athletes out in force over the weekend.

Andy Hooker and Becki Richards represented the Spalding club at the Gruesome Twosome half-marathon, finishing in a combined time of 2.08.15hrs.

The Anna’s Hope 5k event also saw a host of Harriers cross the finishing line.

Karen Wallis ran a personal best of 31.36mins, while Debbie Preston (32.51mins), Sonya Lawrence (34.35mins), Mandy Bettinson (38.08mins), Gill Rose (38.10mins), Jen Wing (43.52mins) and Matt Preston (55.15mins) also competed.

At the Bedford Duathlon (5k run, 20k bike, 2.5k run) Brian Ogden and Louise Southgate clocked times of 1.21.54hrs and 1.27.30hrs respectively.

Also competing was Reuben Cave, who finished the Lincs’ School Cross Country under-19s 6.25k run in 25.38mins.
