Race Report - 26th November 2025

Once again we have another bumper round-up of the exceptional performances from the guys from Team Blizard.

 

The first race to report from was the glamorous Benidorm half-marathon, where training partner to many of the team, Joe Restle, had a storming run considering how much beer he drank the night before, while Worksop Harrier Lucy Binch’s fine vein of form continues as she produced another personal best as she is in fine form.

 

 

The  next race, little nearer home and a touch less glamorous, was the undulating Tadcaster 10-mile road race, where coached athlete Jamie Barker ran a 90 second course PB, and Portugal attendees and Ackworth duo of Laith Flanagan and Richard Burke both gave great displays of form with Laith running a new personal best.

 

 

The ever-popular Clowne half-marathon is our final race to report from, where many of you were racing. Well done to North Derbyshire and coached athlete Mark Trolley, who ran a new personal best, and there were great runs from Nat Neville and Madeleine Stansfield.

 

However, each week we give the “Run of the Week” accolade, and this week it goes to the Valencia Marathon bound athlete from Leeds, Shane Grace, who not only won the race outright, but finished off a perfect preparation for the marathon in two weeks.

 

 

A big week of racing ahead of us, with the Doncaster 10k and Leeds Abbey Dash. Thank you to everybody who sent in their results, it really helps us, and until next week…… keep training!
