IT has been a very busy April for members of Hercules Running & Tri Club whom started the year with long-distance running goals for 2025.

Kelly Burey & Danni Gold both ran together and completed their first half marathon in London Landmarks Half in a debut timeof 02:39:50, they are both new to running so it was a super happy achievement for them to finish their longest run ever and raising important funds for GOSH with a total of £1,710 raised.

Paul Schroder & Wendy Schroder both completed in the Easter 10k in St Albans on a sunny Good Friday in times of 44:03 and 54:13 at an excellent event organised by local company Active Training World (ATW).

On Monday 21st April 2nd Claim Member Josh Shelton took part in the 129th Boston Marathon, Massachusetts, USA, Josh finished in an incredible personal best time of 02:50:31. Josh found the experience amazing and loved every moment of it. “Best marathon experience ever”. Boston is the world’s oldest annual marathon since its inception in 1897.

Andrew Warwick finished the London Marathon in debut time of 05:25:25 in the heat of 22 degrees, Andrew only took up running last year and after a winter break was lucky enough to receive a Hercules England Athletics Club place, so he decided to get back into running and complete his first ever marathon. He loved the atmosphere of this iconic London event, and it is a lifelong ambition completed.
