Sussex Marathon Half Marathon Ultra Option 7th April 2013

The popular, tough Sussex Marathon took place on Sunday and the weather was  a little warmer at last.  This year there was an option to run 30 miles and Tim Cox and Dave Palmer took up the challenge!  Tim is in training for the SDW50 next week, Dave just wanted to satisfy himself that he could complete an Ultra distance.  A great chance to test yourself and to then go on to enter other challenges.


Marc Speed and Dave Rogers competed in the Marathon and posted very good times for this difficult course.


In the Half Marathon our own Becci Holdaway was the first lady home, a fantastic achievement.  She was accompanied by her husband Paul.


Combined times of Tim Cox, Dave Palmer and Marc Speed over the marathon distance placed the club in 3rd place.  


There are some great photos at www.sussexsportphotography.co.uk especially of Tim Cox who seems to be spending more time leaping in the air than running and Dave Palmer stocking up on food!  Times were:


Tim Cox          4:09:39  (30 miles)
Dave Palmer    5:03:54  (30 miles)


Marc Speed      4:26:07  (Marathon)
Dave Rogers     4:31:57  (Marathon)


Becci Holdaway 1:35:28  (Half Marathon)
Paul Holdaway  1:35:29  (Half Marathon)
