Thumbs up from Christian Green as he races at the London Marathon

These past few weeks has seen some excellent individual and team performances by the Harriers competing on the road. First, we had some great running at the London Marathon by Christian & Melissa, and at the Loch Ness Marathon by Andrew, and then a week later the senior men’s & u17 men’s teams finished top 50 at the National Road Relays in Birmingham.
