25th Hastings Half Marathon

ShinyCapstar recently received images from Sgt Simon Hebson who completed the Hastings Half Marathon with some muckers.  Here's his words ....

Hi ShinyCapstar,

Any room for three nutters, who in the blistering heat on the South coast of Hastings ran the 25th Hastings Half Marathon in 2hours and 25 minutes.

CSM Colin Pote (2 Coy), myself and Gdsm Ricky Hodges (MT PL) ran the race in Boots carrying 35lb in weight, along a challenging route which took us 6 miles up hill at the very beginning towards Battle.

Throughout the course we had a lot of support and especially the support of a Sussex Branch Association member John Merricks, who very kindly provided us with a bit of cheeky refreshment of Bottle of Becks. I must say went down really well.

The whole day was a great success and the main idea was PR and I can honestly say that we had achieved our aim and that was to spread the name of the Regiment and finish the course as a group, even if Gdsm Hodges did find it difficult with shins splints most of the way round..
