With a start and finish on York Racecourse and one of the flattest and fastest courses in the North, the Brass Monkey Half Marathon remains hugely popular with runners and has always sold out well in advance, with 2023 no exception.
The race itself was won in a time of 1 hour 6 minutes and 21 seconds by Spenborough and District AC runner Joe Sagar with Georgia Malir of Leeds City 1st female finisher in 1:15:10. Some five Morpeth Harriers travelled, with Andy Lawrence first finisher for the club, 38th in 1:12:46. Mark Banks continued his welcome return from injury with a good time of 1:14:58 for 68th, while an under the weather John Butters was 288th in 1:24:16. Jake Parmley was 324th in 1:25:00 and Laura Mclean 1189th and 46th O/35 in 1:53:56. Some 1625 finished. Closer to home, Dave Stabler was the club’s only representative in the Run Northumberland 10 miler out of Matfen. Dave had a great run to come in 4th overall and 1st O/45 in a time of 1:00:57. The race itself was won by Elswick’s Luke Hilliard in 57:32 with Tynedale’s Amanda Banks 1st female finisher in 1:07:49. Some 78 ran. Finally, although we don’t often report on parkruns, worth mentioning that one Connor Marshall ran the fastest parkrun time in the UK on Saturday with his 15:33. Not a pb, but worth congratulations all the same. Comments are closed.
