A tale of two races ....

​London Vitality 10k
Unfazed by the awful weather forecast, our squirrels headed to central London for the Vitality
10k. Luckily the rain and anticipated storms held off.
​
Mike Roberts lead the club team home with a time of 33:24 followed by Shaun Allin 36:59,
Mike Phillips 41:20, David Edwards 43:12, Daniel Wrigley 47:56, Natalie Phillips 48:07, Elliot
Jackson 56:28 and Adrian Barnett 57:32.

Daniel Wrigley was pleased with his PB just two weeks after his Great North run. Our
runners were in good company, with Eilish McColgan and David Weir amongst the
competitors!

Chas Avis Harvest Trail
Lucy O’Conner described this race as the hardest halfs she has ever done, made worse by
the poor weather and hard terrain of the ploughed fields. At mile 11 Lucy fell down a steep
muddy hill and broke her wrist.

Lucy did manage to finish the race, but due to poor signage
ended up running 14 miles in 2:17:38 according to Strava. (no official times yet) many thanks Brian Judkins who drove Lucy home from the hospital.
