Running
Durham City 5K
As part of his training for his debut Marathon in October’s London Marathon, William Dales participated in the Durham City 5K. The course runs through the city centre meaning it was narrow, twisty & very undulating. Despite these challenges, William finished in 7th position of the 393 finishers in a time of 00:17:35, just 5 secs shy of his current club PB that he set as a Junior member in May 2018’s Fulham Place Parkrun.
