In the Highlands Lauren Morley and Mark Smith took on the scenic Loch Ness Marathon, run along the southern shore of the Loch to Inverness. They both ran well, Lauren to 3:23:17 and Mark 3:44:15.

Much closer to home, the Chester marathon saw Peter Middleton run 2:55:12 in a tutu fundraising for the important work of the Hope House Hospice. We've included a link to Peter's Justgiving page if you feel you would like to help support the charity. Jim Hall also had a great day, 3:04:50 in his first attempt at the distance.

Of course, this weekend was also the London Marathon, and a good group of Salopians travelled to the capital to race. Well done to Connor Middleton (2:42:01, a big PB), Rich McKenna (2:45), Stu Smith (2:56), Simon Cole (3:13) and Jordan Brown (3:30) on great runs.
