Bradford Gets Running!

 

Records fell galore on Sunday at the Bradford City Run, new course record, highest number of entrants, best weather.....(well okay it was the first Bradford half marathon.....!).

 

Just over 1,500 entrants, which represented a 50% increase from last year’s inaugural 10miler, including an international winner in Michael del Monte from Canada. In an effortless running style he sped round the challenging (ie hilly) course in 1:13:07 to win by nearly 3 minutes from Stephen Broadbent. We like Michael’s comments on the race....

 

”The race was fantastic. Well run, well marshalled and overall a great event”!

 

Michael talks more about his experience in his interesting blog - titled "The view was breathtaking and the hills were heartbreaking".

 

Michael Del Monte - winner of the Bradford City Half Marathon

 

 With a major traffic management operation in the heart of Britain’s 6th biggest city, this is one of our more complex and demanding events to put on, but also one of the most satisfying. With not just the half-marathon but a relay along with 5k, 3k and 1k fun runs there’s plenty of scope for anyone to take part. Already we’ll start planning for next year when we intend to develop it further and possibly add a couple of extra activities.
