The multi-award-winning MK Half Marathon is a very popular, fast, and scenic half marathon race which takes runners through woodland and country parks, around lakes, and then boasts an amazing stadium finish at the home of the MK Dons football team.
Blessed with a tremendous amount of natural beauty, Milton Keynes is also lucky to have a world-class system of cycle paths known as redways and race organisers do their best to take advantage of those factors to give runners a course that is scenic, interesting, inspiring, fun to run, fast, and different from other marathons and half marathons.
There is also an incentive to earn extra regal bling, which this year had been designed specifically to celebrate the Queens Platinum Jubilee, by doing not just one, but two days of running!
Runners were invited to participate in the 5K and either the virtual 10K, Half, Relay, or Marathon and receive the coveted MK Challenge Medal.
And that temptation was just too much for Half Marathon stalwart Lyn Snow to resist!
Yet again our Lyn went off on her travels to add to her ever increasing tally of half marathon achievements, and as always, with sheer grit and determination she completed both the 5k course on the Saturday and the Half Marathon on the Sunday, earning herself, not one, not two, but three new pieces of metalwork to add to her collection and running her fastest half marathon for the year so far!
Congratulations Lyn, you are amazing!
