Once again the Coastal Run organised by Alnwick Harriers was a great success with nearly 1000 runners tackling the course from Beadnell to Alnmouth, an unmeasured half marathon. The weather was kind with a mild headwind but not too hot and sunny.
Carl won for the second year running in a great time of 1.13.34, the fastest since 2008 and almost 4 minutes clear of the second placed runner.
Full reports of the race can be found on the Alnwick Harriers website. There is a report also on the Morpeth Harriers website and a brief interview with Carl in the Northumberland Gazette.
