Baildon Boundary Way Half Marathon - 2nd April 2006
Alan Harman chose to do the Baildon Boundary Way Half Marathon instead, and maybe wished he hadn't! 90% of the race was off-road, and there was a half mile trek through 4 inch deep mud to get to the start. Even the starter wore wellies! 354 runners - but few spectators - braved the awful conditions and Alan came an excellent 120th in 1.56.42, enjoying the lovely scenery if not the weather!
