Half Marathon at Delamere Forest

Emily took on her first half marathon last weekend, after recently covering 30 miles at Endure24 and it’s fair to say she smashed both. Read her report below;

Last weekend I ran a Half Marathon at Delamere Forest organised by Andy’s Man Club. According to Google, Delamere is a large wood in the middle of Delamere, it contains a mixture of deciduous & Evergreen trees, however, what it fails to mention is the mountain of a hill appropriately referred too as ‘Bastard Hill’ which we hit at mile 5 then again at mile 10. It was a 240ft climb across 0.59 miles (x2) this contributed to over half of the elevation throughout the whole race.

My main aim was to finish, especially after the Endure24 lull. I did indeed finish, sub 2 hour and First Lady 🥇
