A single lap for the ladies and two for the gents. Around the sports fields and up through and along the top of the wooded Bramcote hills, a twisting undulating route threading its way through the copse then a right angle over the grass to get your breath and summon strength to climb the steps up to the wooded top again. Andrew Peat continues to impress with a 5th placing in 36:49 for the 5.5 miles. Next in, Rob Fox 13th and 1st V50 in 37:55 and another strong run from Kieran McKeever third back for the club for 19th in 38:36.
This is always an event that attracts a high quality field and large numbers where in-form runners can race to a pb. And so it was for Paul Lewis and Sarah Harris. Paul recently recording a best time for 10 miles in Cumbria achieved a 10 Km pb of 32:13 in 41st place whilst, Sarah, again on the back of quality training and a new half-marathon time from Stroud, achieved a time of 34:22 in 95th place and 4th lady. Father and son Dave and Mark Boot ran well with Mark edging ahead with 38:34 286th ahead of Dave with a good return to form of 38:50 303rd. Paul Maddison in his first race as a V40 came home 1051st in 44:10.
