THE LOUGHBOROUGH HALF MARATHON AND TEAM RELAY CHALLENGE 2016

We are absolutley thrilled to announce that the Loughborough Half Marathon and Team Relay 2016 raised £20,934 so THANK YOU to every single person that entered, sponsored, supported and marshalled at our event :-)

Huge Congratulations to Stuart Spencer and Julie Warner who took 1st Place positions on Sunday. In second place were Nicholas Dennis and Amy Sarkies. Also big Congratulations to Darcy Fitness for winning the team Relay in 1:21:51 We had some great feedback about the event so i thought that i would share this with you too...

My main comment was that the event seemed to be a bit better organised this year, especially the road crossings (always tricky!!) and the finish.  The marshals were terrific, very encouraging. We’ll be back next year!!

Just wanted to say well done on a brilliantly organised event.. the emails leading up to it.. number collection.. and on race day, the Marshalls, Traffic Control, Water Stations and everything going at Start/Finish was perfect. Thank you

I volunteered last year and vowed I would run next year, I am so glad I did, it was every bit as fulfilling as what I had perceived.  A special thanks to all the marshals cheering us on, giving up their Sunday mornings to allow the run to take place.  There were two in particular, one at the corner of Ashby Road and the university and the other at the entrance to Queens Park at the underpass, who ran with me holding my hand up the slope into the park.  All the gestures, and verbal encouragement given to us by the marshals along the route was very much appreciated !  At times I was so tired I could not even acknowledge them, the pain in thighs was so great.  But I did hear them and appreciated their support.

I thought the event was very well Marshalled any fewer we would have got lost! 

Hi - I was part of one of the three relay teams from East Midlands Airport who took part yesterday.  I just wanted to thank all the volunteers for their fantastic support throughout the course.  As the Customer Service Director of the airport I would have liked to have stopped and given a few of them a job!  They were great and really made the event.

Thanks for your email. I thought the day was incredibly well organised and your volunteers were extremely helpful, I’ll be running again next year!

Thanks for the info, and for organising such a fabulous event! I do agree that the marshalls were fab!
