This year's event took place in relatively better conditions from previous years. Most of the mud had dried and the stream crossing was just knee deep. The wind, on the other hand, was as wild as always. Tewkesbury AC were in the prizes with V55 runner Carol Cowley winning her category (and she bettered the V50's best runner). The Bredon based athlete ran a splendid race finishing just 52 seconds ahead of her nearest rival in 1hr 24 mins. First home for the club was Jon Mansfield in 1.06 hr. Rob Knight came injust 3 minutes later with Stuart Buchan completing the 10.5 mile off-road course in 1.15hr. This was an especially pleasing performance for Buchan who will be racing the London Marathon in just three weeks time.
15th Jon Mansfield - 1.06
27th Rob Knight - 1.09
61st Stuart Buchan - 1.15
154th Carol Cowley - 1.24
