What a week for Poole AC athletes! So many notable achievements including Kirstin and Barry doing 2 major marathons in a week, Brian smashing sub 2:30 at the London marathon, many marathon PBs, and a double first in the Marnhull 12k. So much money raised for charity too. Fantastic running everyone. We also had a great team of supporters!
