A truly impressive run in the Paris Marathon for club runner – Daisy Glover. Daisy completed this, her 1st ever marathon in an incredible 2.52.17! Daisy said she was “surprised by the time as she had only ever ran to 14 miles!” Daisy had taken a few years off from running, due to work commitments but joined the Newmarket Joggers in January. The power of 10 recorded that daisy’s time was the 3rd fastest marathon run in 2018. Impressively she was the first British female to finish, giving her 20th overall position from a field of over 10.000 runners. An amazing achievement from a member to the Newmarket Club.
