Humph's Hilly Half Marathon

Saturday 28th June 2008 at 6pm

Congratulations to Gary Payne (1:15:46) and Steph Lane (1:27:10) for achieving great times over a challenging course.  Read the full race report.   The race results and prize list are available to down-load.  Click-on picture below for a larger version.

Once again the race followed a single loop, starting and finishing in Bourton-on-the-Water.   A notable picturesque route through the pretty villages of Clapton, Sherborne, Windrush, Great Barrington and Great Rissington.  We have a selection of photos and maps showing the course.

A big thank-you goes out to all of the runners that braved the elements last year to make it a great event.

Results are available for the 2007,  2006,  2005 and  2004 races.

Background

The Hilly Half was introduced in 2003 to replace the Bourton Classic 15 mile race, which had been running for over 20 years.  So far it has proved to be a good move.

We would love to be able organise a marathon one day too.  Please let us know if it would be of interest.

This year's race director was again Tony Goodwill, who was supported by Liz Hulcup and Ali Lane as race entries secretaries.
