Stilton Strider secures podium spot at Grimsthorpe Castle Half-Marathon
Stilton Strider Stuart Shaw travelled to Lincolnshire on Sunday for the Grimsthorpe Castle half-marathon, an undulating trail race around the grounds of the castle.
Stuart finished in an excellent third place overall, and first vet 45, in 1hr 31min 03secs.
* Striders mother and daughter Julie Bass and Emma Hope travelled to North Yorkshire to walk the Yorkshire Three Peaks.
They aimed to walk up Ingleborough (723m), Pen-Y-Gent (694m) and Whernside (736m), a total distance of 24 miles in 12 hours.
After a 6.15am start, the first two summits were reached in heavy mist, but by the time the summit of Whernside was reached the sun was out.
A steep scramble to the finish was rewarded with a finish time of 9hr 22mins.
Two other Melton athletes Joanne Shore and Linda McInerney, of Rutland Running Club, also completed the walk in just over nine hours.
