London-based Manx athlete Sarah Astin began 2026 well with a fine run in the Victoria Park Half Marathon.
On Sunday (January 4), Sarah won the women’s race in a women’s event record time of 1:12:45.
Sarah is aiming to run her debut Marathon in the not-too-distant future, and this is a really solid start to her year.
She is the Isle of Man women’s record holder for the distance with her time of 1:11:40 set in Seville in 2024.
