Just doing some further tidying of the front page, finishing off what I started yesterday. I thought I would save my comments about the "big names" from the 1973 event by pasting them below.
The Easter Festival of Running really has been the story of the week. New sponsorship was announced at the start and the history of the event has been brought back to the publicon the website (as usual these things don't happen overnight).
During the past five or six years, the organisers have gone some way towards bringing back the University teams who used to form the backbone of the event. But strangely, very few locals have been running in a series that brings competition to their doorsteps.
The return of the local runners. That will be the story of the year. Now here is that story of yesteryear.
Charlie Spedding went on to win the London Marathon and take the bronze medal in the 1984 Olympics; Julian Goater won the 1981 National Cross Country in one of the biggest wins of all time and was 4th in the World Championship Cross Country; Steve Kenyon was the last British runner to win the Great North Run (1985: 1:2:44) and contested nine world cross country championships. If it was good enough for them......enter today!
