Despite the awful weather, a record breaking field of over 500 runners entered this year’s St Michael’s Hospice Hereford Half Marathon which took place at Hereford Racecourse.
First runner across the line was Stephen Patterson from San Dominico (Cardiff), in a very swift 1:13:23; I managed to stay in close contact with local runner, Mick Ballantyne before overtaking him at the 13 mile mark to finish second, for the second year running.
Croft placings:
2nd S.Morgan 1:18:07; 28th D.Rouse jnr 1:26:41; 37th D.Ameghino 1:29:11;
195th D.Rouse 1:48:59; 278th K.Preston 1:58:35; 357th C.Percival 2:08:58
