Great North West Half Marathon
A fast and flat course around the coastal front of Blackpool, the Great North West Half Marathon is billed as a great race for a personal best, and an ideal warm up race for April marathons such as London. Clayton Cutter was the Lions’ sole representative, completing the course in a new personal best time of 1:36:18.
