This was the third running of the Blickling Half Marathon and the first time that the organisers had been able to operate a mass start. Having run the previous two events in waves it was definitely good to get back to proper racing, all starting at the same time and knowing your position in the race. The race was very well organised, starting on Aylsham recreation ground and passing through the local villages such as Calthorpe, Wolterton and Itteringham before passing round the edge of the Blickling estate and back into Aylsham with the finish line in Aylsham Market Place. The course is very undulating and for most of the route you tend to be running either up a hill or downhill. Especially tough is the last section as you reach the 13 mile mark and have one last big uphill to climb back into the finish at the market place – not what you want to see in the final stages of the race! The course was well marshalled throughout and there was good support at certain points on the route. The cloudy weather with cool temperatures was good for running although there was a strong breeze to run into on parts of the course.

Overall it was a very enjoyable experience. This race is run twice each year with both a Spring and Autumn version and hopefully is here to stay on the road race calendar. Sixteen Jags took part, with PBs for Andrew Wicks, Theresa Dean and Angela Pleasants and seven of our runners: Andy Foreman, Barry Halkyard, Amy Fulcher, Blake Payne, Sarah Circuit, Josh Brighty and Emily Beavis all completing their first half marathons for Jags.

This year’s Wissey Half Marathon took place in warm temperatures at the start of September. The warmer temperatures compared to the previous couple of weeks ensured that it was tough going but the course itself provided an enjoyable route starting in Oxborough and passing through several local villages. The first half of the course is progressively uphill with a few little climbs before a big incline around the 8-9 mile point. After setting off a bit too fast I was starting to struggle at this point and very much appreciated the downhill part of the course from 9-10 miles before a final push towards the finish. Although I did not manage to secure the PB I was aiming for, I did manage to hold on for a new age category record. Five other Jags ran this race with Rod Bye and Ellie Gaskins both achieving PBs and an age category record for Ellie. Jackie Bye completed the family success by claiming first place in her age category and Iwona Litwiniec and Stephen Brown also produced excellent runs on this nice but challenging course! The race is very well organised by Ryston runners with good marshalling along the route.
