Mark Palmer

This is to be confirmed, but a number of social media sources and the FRA forum are talking of a 14:59 Bob Graham Round today by Mynydd Du’s Mark Palmer. He has been in sparkling form of late winning the Brecon 40 and Helvellyn races…

This puts Palmer as number four on the BGR all-time list behind Stuart Bland’s 14:56, Mark Hartell’s 14:54 and Billy’s untouchable (probably!) 13:53.

More to follow…

    I can confirm :)
    Awesome effort – Mark looked incredibly strong on the last leg when i saw him. He had created quite some mayhem amongst his pacers when 3hours ahead of schedule…
