Sandie Harwood reports about the mud..
Four members of Tewkesbury AC made the 3 hr journey to Tywyn in Wales to take part in the 23rd Annual Race the Train Event.
Despite, drizzly and muddy conditions, this year's event was enjoyed by all four members of the club, a challenging multi-terrain 14.8mile course had runners up, down and along hills, knee deep in mud and water, through farmland and some roads too.
Angie Sadler was star performer picking up the prize for 2nd Lady Vet 45 and finishing 123rd, Bradley Crouch 136th, very much at home in this type of terrain, Sandie Harwood 493rd, this being the longest race she has done to date and Phillip Howells 494th, proving that this type of event is what he really enjoys! This was the first time Angie and Sandie had taken part in this very well organised and atmospheric event. Overall finishing field was 709.
