not running, OK.
If you’re not on the list and haven’t entered yet,
then you can still enter online at www.ukresults.net

Young Lou Gilchrist, 75 last week,
ran what we believe is a world record 1:56:36 in the Ackworth Half
Marathon this morning.
The previous best of 1:58:19 was set
by Eileen Quinton in February 2005 in
The only other time I have is for
the American record of 2:24:14, which was set in 2002 by the famous Helen
Klein when she was 79.
