Hey Runners,
So great events were held over the weekend, including the Venice Marathon, one of the most unique marathons of them all. By all accounts it was a very tough affair, with torrid weather making conditions extremely difficult even for the most seasoned competitor. However over 6000 competitors finished the race, with Philemon Kisang and Emebt Bedada winning in style.
Check out the photos and Full Report Here.
Other races this weekend included the Conductive Education 10K, Race for Ovarian Cancer in Williamsport and the Loseley 4k and 10k. Be sure to get your race reports and photos in to be included in each weeks newsletter.
