Buxton Half Marathon - Written by Steve Coleman

On Sunday I did the Buxton half marathon which proved to be what it said, one of the hardest haf marathons going with over 1600 feet of climb and hard downhill runs. To make it more fun it was far too hot. The first hill was three miles long, but it was the second hill that was a killer. A good turn out from Burnden runners who had this down as a club race! Came 28th out of 300 who finnished at 1h32m03s. The web page reports that all those treated for heat exhustion have recovered.
