On Sunday 24th November, Jane Mardon took part in the Owler Half Marathon event in Kent which had hundreds of runners taking in various distances. The half marathon started at the Julia Rose Stadium in Ashford, heading out through very muddy conditions round Conningbrook Lake. It progressed onto quiet country roads, up and down the hilly edge of the North Downs and through woods on boggy tracks. The conditions underfoot were challenging after so much recent rain but the temperature was almost perfect for winter running. It was a great race- a first mixed terrain half marathon and Jane finished in a personal best time of 3hrs 22 minutes and first in her age group.
