Heaton Harriers at Chicago Marathon 2022

Another weekend where we had Heaton Harrier representation in several places around the world. This time across the pond at the Chicago Marathon, one of the six world major marathons.

Our very own John James and Dave Brignall were our representatives this year traveling to Chicago, delayed from 2020. John was in fact undertaking his second marathon in a week after completing the London Marathon last Sunday. John finished in a time of 3:41:19 – an excellent run and over 1 minute quicker than London last weekend. Dave took a somewhat more relaxed finish time of 4:04 (his words). It was an excellent race, with so much support from start to finish according to Dave.

Thanks for checking in Dave and sending the photos across. Safe travels back home.
