Maldon Prom is adjacent to the site of the Battle of Maldon in 991. The local anglo-saxon lord Byrhtnoth lost to the Vikings. There is a statue of him at the end of the Prom. en.wikipedia.org |

A bit of a stretch, but the Knavesmire in York is 7+ miles east of Marston Moor, where - reputedly - the largest battle on English soil took place as part of the first English Civ il War.

Non-runner
Just got an email from parkrun about the Contra roadshow, bringing the gear to parkruns around the country for people to try on and even run in. I must admit to doing all my running in free race t shirts, and also my 50, 100 and 25 shirts, which are still in great shape; I don’t really buy branded running wear. Given that Contra supports parkrun though I guess it should be the first brand to consider. Has anyone purchased Contra gear, is it any good and worth the money?

I've got a short sleeved t-shirt and it's really good quality, a good fit and light; it would definitely be one I'd do a long run in on a hot summer day.

I got a tshirt at the Vitality 10k that is the same make (the fabric is just like a Contra tshirt someone I know has got) and I really like it. Very light and good fit.

Doesn't matter how good, I can't imagine ever buying a t-shirt to run in again. Maybe someone will use these as an event shirt
