Crowle ‘Gunpowder’ 10km

Two Tewkesbury runners headed north to race in this popular Worcestershire event. Simon Hall and Wes Read joined 470 other runners on the start line and it was Hall who found himself at the sharp end. Running rapidly, the Evesham based athlete missed a podium place by seconds to finished fourth. Hall’s tactics were to work his way up through the field and this he did. However, he was left with the feeling that he missed out on third, as the in-form runner knew he could have pushed harder.

Wes Read, in contrast, planned this event in to tune for his local half-marathon this coming Sunday. The former Rugby star came in at 369th.

4th Simon Hall 35.30

369th Wes Read 59.39
