Seven ESM athletes tackled the London Marathon this Spring – exactly the same number as last year, though this year it was an all-male affair. After the warm conditions experienced by club members at the Brighton Marathon two weeks earlier, pre-race preparations included anxious monitoring of the weather forecasts. They […]
Twenty six of ESM’s top young athletes turned up at 6:30am for the coach into Central London for Sunday’s Mini Marathon, writes Tim Hannah. Once inside the old Billingsgate Fish Market there was a long wait for the race in cramped conditions. Eventually 9am came and the athletes were led […]
Congratulations to James Hughes who won the Southampton 10k on Sunday, held in conjunction with the inaugural Southampton Marathon and Half Marathon. James said “the race felt great on a beautifully sunny day. I was in a pack of three for most of the race and managed a sprint to […]
