- Doynton Horrible Hard Half
Paul’s excellent Race Report gave a blow by blow account of the event and I would like to highlight and recognise the enormity of the achievements. TRC had 19 entries and 18 finishers in a field of 418 runners. 11 of the TRC runners finished in the top 10 of their category, 5 of which were in the top 3 – Nick Williams, Sean Leadbeater, Ben Bohane, Rob Watkins & Hannah Hamilton. A superb effort. Bitton will be quaking in their shoes thinking about the mob match on 27th March!
