The 38th Gordon Whelbourn Running Week sees Newark AC’s Leigh Marshall dominate to retain the Dr Simeon Hansard Trophy




Leigh Marshall’s dominance of the Gordon Whelbourn Running Week continued as he received the Dr Simeon Hansard Trophy for the fourth successive year.

The event, in its 38th year and organised by Newark AC, consists of five 5k races held on consecutive nights.

Using parks around the town as well as the Farndon riverside paths, runners ran 5k each evening during the week. Some ran all week, others just one or two, but dozens turned out for each race.

Organisers reported strong running across all ages with many younger athletes taking on the challenge, racing against more seasoned campaigners.

For the first time, Marshall also won all five races on his way to retaining his crown.

The leading female was Hannah Strange of Newark Striders to win the Mary Whelbourn Trophy while Ethan Cooper (Newark AC) also ran all five races and won the under-20 male category, finishing second overall.

Newark AC’s Robert Orgill said: “It was great to see the runners, some from local clubs and others from further afield as well as non-club runners, just enjoy running together.”
