Many congratulations to Cass Jackson, who won her age category at the Mauritius Half Marathon at the weekend and did an excellent job of providing our club with some quality international marketing!

Cass describes the race, “I left for the race at 6 o’clock in the morning. I thought the weather would be great but it’s an anti cyclone here at the moment so there’s really high winds and rain. I thought I might get blown away or hit by a falling coconut!!!

Anyway we set off at 7am and it was fine for about 15k when the wind really picked up. Blimey it was hard!! But I battled on. And it was worth it! I won a coconut !! Won my age category so there is indeed a podium shot!!” Well done Cass.
