The 2nd Rutland Water Marathon took place on Sunday 6th of Nov 2011 and for the 2nd year running the sun came out. The overall mens winner was Andrew Siggers from Kenilworth Runners in a time of 2:39:36 followed by last years winner Hywel Davis from Rugby Triathlon club. The overall female winner was Kate Mills from Springfield Striders who also took the 40+ female category in a time of 3:14:52. Doug Slater took the mens 40+ award in a time of 3:03:20 and David Rose of STOURBRIDGE RC taking the male 50+ category. Leslie Andrew took the final female individual award in the 50+ category and The 100 Marathon Club won the club category with 1854 points followed in second place by the local Rutland Running Club with 1363 points. A note worthy mention needs to go out to Damian Atkinson who competed the marathon wearing an army bomb disposal suit in a time of 7:33:20. I lifted the suit up after he completed the race and was amazed at how heavy it was. Well done Damian.. a great effort.
