Hastings half marathon - Sunday 15 March

There was a fairly low turnout from BVAC this year for the Hastings half. It was a shame as the weather was nigh perfect with sun, little or no wind but sensible temperatures. Well done to those who made the trip.

Cyprus Marathon - Sunday 15 March

Adrian Walters once again took part in the Cyprus Marathon, though with a high wind he thought this was one of the toughest tests. He finished a very creditable 35th of the 100 finishers in a time of 3:54:23.
