Record-breaking day as 1,500 runners shine at Amazing Northampton Run
15 September 2025
It was a record breaking day at yesterday's Amazing Northampton Run as almost 1,500 runners took to the town's streets.
The star performer was Rugby & Northampton Athletic Club's Luke Greer, who won the half-marathon in a course record of one hour, seven minutes and seven seconds.
His club colleagues, Matthew Everitt and Ned Gilford, came second and third respectively, while Katie Godof won the women's race in one hour, 22 minutes and 57 seconds.
Vocal crowds of supporters filled the route, which passed town landmarks including its three sporting stadia, All Saints' Church and Abington Park.
The event started and finished at the revamped Market Square, providing runners and supporters with a brilliant backdrop for their pre- and post- run selfies.
Meanwhile, the three mile run was won by 12-year-old Rose Tannasee in a mind-blowing 21 minutes and 42 seconds, and Clowne Road Runners came first in the relay race.
"It was fantastic to see so many people enjoying our town centre and putting in such incredible performances.Simon Hollis, from organiser Go Beyond Challenge
"While we like to celebrate the achievements of our podium finishers and it was incredible to see Luke finish in such a fast time, we see everyone who completes one of our events as a winner.
"For many people, getting to the start line is success in its own right and whether you finish in just over an hour or more than three, completing a half-marathon is a wonderful achievement."
