Buckingham Half Marathon

Fresh from his high octane performance at the MK Rocket 5k, our junior Harry Rann was back in his white blue and red vest this time in Buckingham.

Starting at Maids Moreton Playing Fields, this scenic, undulating single lap winds it’s way around the glorious countryside of the county, visiting the towns and villiages of Leckhampstead, Wicker and Akeley along the way.

Temperatures rose sharply as Harry got off to a blistering start.

“It was so hot” said our superstar junior. “I was chucking water over my head at all the water stations”

Undeterred, Harry powered his way around the course, crossing the line back at the playing fields in 1.31.05 and a stonking 16th overall and 7th in his age category. 

“It was much hillier than the Island half and the heat was insane. I had a bit of a wobble when I’d finished. I think it was a bit of dehydration”

But after a bit of sugar and a drink, out amazing junior lives to fight another day.

Well done Harry.
