Sunday also saw the Yorkshire Marathon, which starts at Heslington and heads into York city centre, past the Minster and then out to Stockton-on-the-Forest, Stamford Bridge and Osbaldwick.

Alan Feldberg was first to complete the course in Bridlington colours, finishing in 380th in three hours, 24 minutes and 15 seconds.

Club chairman Martin Hutchinson was hampered by a groin injury in the second half of the race but battled through and crossed the line in four hours and one second!

Amy Hall’s first marathon saw her record an excellent time of 4:26:31, while for Stuart Gent it was his second marathon in two weeks, having competed at London earlier in the month.

His time was similar to his effort in the capital, and a personal best for the Yorkshire course.

Lyn Gent also set a PB in the 10-mile race at the same event, finishing in 1:35:48.
