Lichfield Half Marathon 2016

Sunday 1st May saw the 2016 Lichfield Half Marathon take place following a week of unpredictable weather, including snow and hail.  Fortunately our runners were pleased to avoid most of the worst weather, with the day being overcast and cool, with only a few short drizzly spells. We had a really good turnout from the club, with 23 runners registered as club members.  Our first club member home was Richard O’Sullivan, in 1 hour 21 minutes, followed a minute later by Jon Wolfe, who ran a personal best.  First woman back home (and another personal best!) was Rachel Tole in 1 hour 43 minutes.  We also had several of our runners for whom this event was their first half marathon. Many congratulations to all our members who had trained hard for this.
