40 Hayle runners joined a field of nearly 400 for the Indian Queens half marathon today. The race starts and ends in Indian Queens and includes a mix of road and several miles of trails through Goss Moor. Indian Queens half always seems to fall on a hot day (We’ve checked the archives), and today was no exception.
Nevertheless, Hayle runners had a very successful race which started with Jacob Gardner taking third place overall!
One Hayle men’s team consisting of Jacob Gardner, Jordan Morant, Adam Gore, Peter Barnes, Daniel Strickland, and Thomas Rosenfeld came 1st Not only did the Hayle team come first but another Hayle men’s team, made up of Liam O’Neill, Mark Williams, Lee Burford, Clem Mitchell, Ian Curnow, and Jon Eldon also came 3rd! Our ladies’ team also did brilliantly, coming in second overall, so a huge well done to Debbie Harrison-Webb, Kirsty Medlock, Lee Strickland, Lucy Paull, Corinne Gerrard, and Melodie Manners.
