Six Tewkesbury AC runners took part in the annual 10 mile race just south of Gloucester.
Without doubt, the outstanding performance of the day was by Angie Sadler. The multi-distance talent not only won her vet F45 category but also won the ladies race outright. A fantastic result to start 2007.
Tewkesbury's new recruit, Luke Anthony was the first club member home finishing just outside the top 20. The conditions on the day meant that the final four miles were demanding heading into a strong headwind, in which, most runners lost time. Stuart Buchan's good form defeated the wind with ease. While Adrian Lavery chose to run the whole course as a warm-up before the start, he still managed to finish the race in less than 70 minutes. Barry O'Driscoll needed to make some last minute equipment adjustments, which resulted in starting at the back. O'Driscoll worked his way through the sell-out 260 runners to finish inside the top 100 - some tactful training for April's London Marathon! Phillip Howells completed the Tewkesbury contingent finishing in 80 minutes.
