Man in Derby vest beats everyone in Nottingham at Robin Hood Half Marathon 2024

David Bishop took a moment to remember his late grandmother, who also once won the race, as he celebrated his winning time

A man wearing a Derby vest has beaten everyone in Nottingham by finishing the Robin Hood Half Marathon in just one hour and eight minutes.

David Bishop from Draycott took a moment to remember his late grandmother, who also once won the race, as he celebrated his time of 1:08:18.

He was one of 12,500 runners taking part in the half-marathon today (Sunday, September 29) which saw gridlock traffic in some spots as participants flocked to Victoria Embankment.

The 33-year-old said: "Yeah, I feel really good. I did this race about three years ago when I was getting back into running and it didn’t go so well, so I wanted to come back.

“My mum and grandma did this race when it was a marathon. It’s nice to come back and win. It was amazing. The crowds were so good and then you see all the runners coming back around. I really enjoyed it."

Nottinghamshire Live will be publishing a full list of everyone's times later today. In the meantime, the top five male and female runners are listed below.
