Club Championship 2015 - Haddington Half Marathon

Haddington half marathon was the venue for this year's DRC Club Championship titles. 13 DRC members made the trip over for the East coast of Scotland race last Saturday, and all acquitted themselves splendidly. The course  was windy and hilly with temperatures reaching 24c, which made for a very challenging test of stamina. Jo Zakrzewski won the DRC ladies championship in an impressive time of 1.21.52 and was also First Lady in the half marathon, finishing in 11th place overall. Alan Baxter finished alongside Jo in 12th place, first male over 40, and 2015 DRC men’s champion. Congratulations to both.   

Following our new champions home Jacob Tangey ran a strong race just behind Jo and Alan, finishing 14th in a time of 1.22.51. Kevin McQueen also claimed a place in the top twenty finishers coming 19th in 1.25.37.
