Sidmouth Running Club report: A sizzling half marathon PB for Gripper
By Guest
14th Jun 2021 | Local Sport
Sidmouth Running Club run leader, Adrian 'Gripper' Horne ventured off to Dorset on Sunday to take part in the Weymouth Half Marathon organised by Just Racing.
It was third time lucky for the race, having been previously postponed twice from September 2020, but with a staggered start and guidelines in place Gripper was able to enjoy the run.
The popular seaside half provides runners with some outstanding scenery on a pretty flat 1 lap 13.1 mile course, which Gripper appreciated. The Mighty Green said despite the intense heat it shows how running on the Sidmouth hills pays dividends, as he managed to take 6 minutes off his half marathon PB and finished in 02:02:30 hours!
What an achievement in those scorching conditions: no wonder he headed straight for a paddle in the sea!
