WOODSTOCK Harriers’ serial marathon man Paul Brackett has completed his longest race yet – the Thames Path 100.
Brackett, who completed his 100th race of 26.2 miles or more at last year’s Abingdon Marathon, was pleased with his debut at the 100-mile distance.
He clocked 23hrs 43mins 20secs to finish in joint 62nd place.
“I was aiming to get under 24 hours and was able to finish at walking pace,” he said.
“I think I have found my distance.”
