JERSEY MARATHON Sunday Sept 27th

 

Hennessy & Prosser conquer the distance

 

Well done to Andy Hennessy and Clare Prosser for great runs at the full marathon on Jersey on Sept 27th.

 

Hennesey went again for the 3rd year in succession looking for his hat-trick of victories but had to settle for 3rd place this time in, a slow for him, time of 2.47. He  was a minute down on the 2nd place and 14 minutes down on Joseph Kibunja who turned up to run in 2.31.

 

Meanwhile, Prosser followed up her recent 89 minute half at Cheltenham with a great marathon debut in 3.09 for 5th place amongst the women (22nd overall). That’s a great time and will be good enough to earn her a start at London marathon

 

Andy was due to run in the Senior Men’s team at the South of England Road Relays at Aldershot the same day but couldn’t find a helicopter to get him form one race to the next in time!
