There was an excellent turnout for the 29th Belvoir Half Marathon and the 4 1/2 miles Fun Run with 589 finishers for the main event and over 50 in the Fun Run. Results at this stage are unconfirmed but a large number of runners achieved Personal Best.
A big thank you to all the runners who took part for making a great atmosphere, especially to the regular supporters - you make all the effort worthwhile. Thank you to all the local volunteers who helped support the event.
The event was organised by Hose Village Hall Management Committee, in order to raise funds to improve the village hall facilities. We hope that it is a friendly event, which first-time runners as well as our many regular visitors will attend.
