Please send any content for future releases to [email protected] Stuart Whitford takes on Virtual Tromsø half marathon smashing 3 PBs along the way Stu should have been in Tromsø, in the north of Norway, this weekend to run the Polar Night half marathon, but due to the latest Lockdown he was unable to travel from the UK. Although the event did take place, Stuart did his virtual race in the chilly but a bit less cold local Welwyn Garden City on Saturday 9th. Setting off from Stanborough Lakes, Stuart ran to Old Welwyn, Oaklands, and back to WGC via Chequers. He reports it was “flipping cold and foggy” however, after not feeling too well that morning he achieved his fastest half marathon time in 1:49.09 as well as gaining a pb in the 10k and mile distance. Well done Stuart! Cross Country will go ‘virtual’ Race Director Richard Somerset writes: “As we are now in another lockdown the next XC planned for the 17th will be a virtual event over four days, athletes can run anytime from Thursday Jan 14th to Sunday 17th. “If you are local to WGC, the course will be along the Cole Green Way starting at the A414 bridge and turning before the viaduct in Hertford, a distance of about 5.3 miles.

Possible routes Four different routes have been considered for the creation of a multi user link west from the centre of Wheathampstead to the Lee Valley Walk path along the former railway line, and thus linking to the Ayot Greenway to the east. The four routes are shown on the map below. Key Route 1 Route 2 Route 3 Route 4 Jan 2008 3 2a. Route 1 and 4 analysis These would run on or adjacent to the public road, which automatically gives rise to safety implications and also results in a less pleasant route for pedestrians, horse riders and cyclists. It was agreed by all parties that the most preferable solution would be an off road route as is found on other sections of Ayot Greenway, but due to the difficulties concerned with this stretch in particular, these two routes were investigated by Hertfordshire Highways It was the recommendation of Hertfordshire Highways that neither route would be suitable. Comments from Hertfordshire Highways strategy development manager (04.03.08) are below. “A route along Brewhouse Hill and Harpenden Road would not be recommended.
