Also on Sunday, NOTFAST were out in at the Dovedale Dash, a 4 ¾-mile trail run near Ashbourne in Derbyshire. This year the ground was especially muddy, making for a very slippery course. Annette Taylor was the first NOTFAST back in 1:01:58, followed by Zoe Smith (1:38:32), and Gill Goode (1:38:32)
Finally, Chris McDonnell was at the Leeds Abbey Dash on Sunday, a 10k race with 11,000 other runners, and completed the course in 46:12.
