The penultimate race of the WRRL saw its longest event, Kenilworth Half Marathon, stretch it’s self out along 13.1 miles of Warwickshire country side. Perfect conditions saw runners go off under cover of clouds and embraced by the faintest of misty rain. The mist provided welcome cooling over the multiple hills on the undulating course.
K&D Runners embraced the day with what was, frankly, an obscene amount of PB’s. The action was so red-hot that the results deserve an 18+ rating.
Chris Sharp took 2nd overall but suffered major stitch with only a short distance to go robbing him of a victory. While he may feel frustrated, especially after the inter-club mishap in Kenilworth last time too, his sensational form continues. If he can run 1:13:11 in distress we can’t wait to see how he goes when it all goes right for him (which probably won’t be in Kenilworth – #KenilworthCursed).
PB’s will be updated for those who’s i’ve missed when they go live on runbritain.

If you are wondering why only three women appear in those results then here is probably a good place to leave this…
Wilne 10k
Away from the WRRL Chris Revell and James Taylor did the wilne 10km today both falling agonisingly short of sub 40. Official results show Chris at 40:06 and James ran 40:01 (James overtook Chris after 9km when he was regretting his night on the beers… by all accounts having followed the Russ Davies school of race preparation) Read more
