Sodbury Slog

Tewkesbury's Angie Sadler had great success in the annual 'Sodbury Slog' - an infamous 9.5 mile run across ploughed fields, rivers and particularly gluey mud. Sadler took part in the event along with fellow Tewkesbury AC Ultra-distance runner Phillip Howells. Howells, himself a proven competitor, completed the difficult terrain in 1.20 hr. This gave the V50 runner a top 250 placing from the 1,200 who took part. Sadler, a renowned distance runner, dealt with the course in 1.14 hr. She won the competitive ladies veteran title collecting a substantial financial award which will be sure to come in useful next weekend when the same two runners travel to France to test themselves in the La Rochelle marathon.
