Sun 1 Dec 2019, Valencia, Spain
With Tokyo 2020 on the horizon, some of world’s top athletes headed to Spain to compete at the Valencia marathon, which is known to be one of the fastest around. Amongst them was Preston Harriers’ own Eleanor Whyman-Davis. Making the most of the warm winter conditions, the Helen Clitheroe trained athlete put in a stunning performance to shatter the club’s women’s marathon record, which has stood since 1987, and come close to making the Olympic qualifying time, finishing the race in a time of 2:33:34.
