Wirksworth’s Elaine Stone finished 48th overall in the Eyam half marathon on Sunday, in a time of 1:45:41, earning her 3rd place female and a comfortable win in her age category. Another smashing performance!
Wirksworth had two runners in this year’s London marathon. Ania Ames (pictured) ran round in 4:01:24 – the windy conditions on the day were not kind enough to allow Ania to duck under the 4-hour mark but Ania was rightly pleased with her performance...
