Three Counties Running Club members compete in first-ever Norfolk Marathon at Cromer

A trio of Three Counties Running Club members participated in the first-ever Norfolk Marathon organised by Epic Norfolk.

Profits from the race, which started and finished at Cromer, will be reinvested in local sport and physical activity organised by EPIC Norfolk.

It was an early start and the sun was shining but that soon changed as the heavens opened on an already tough and hilly course.

Representing the club were Phillip Cooper, Tracy Adams and Les Phillips.

Adams finished in a fantastic time of 4:53:15 followed by Phillip Cooper in 5:19:35.

Unfortunately, Phillips had to pull out very late on in the race due to a knee injury but is recovering well.

Elsewhere was the Boston half and full marathon.

Alfie Grant finished in a great time of 1:39:23 (CPB) and Alice Ingman in a great time of 2:20:00.

Amy Baxter ran the full marathon and despite the weather had a fantastic run, knocking 16 minutes off her previous marathon time and finishing with a PB of 3:45:15.
