It's golden Sands
Boston runner Mark Sands claimed a first-place finish in the gruelling Valentine's 30k at the weekend.
The Stamford-based slog, which is just under 19 miles long, is often used as preparation for runners gearing up for spring marathons.
On what turned out to be a very windy, cold and grey day, Sands not only battled the elements but also the hills in this very challenging race.
Sands, who runs for Skegness and District AC, clocked 1:53:13, which was enough to win the men’s Vet45 category and come sixth overall.
