Firstly Sharky Cotters completed his 200th Marathon at the Shires and Spires event in Naseby. He was welcomed home by lots of his fellow club members, many of who had just completed the 10k and half marathon with other ultra marathon runners still out on the course.

Other achievements this weekend were Josh David won the 10k with Natasha Kingston finishing in 4th as first female, John Gibbins won the marathon and Jenny Lindroth and Evie Hashmi completing their first Ultra Marathons.
