There were some absolutely terrific performances with the first 10 runners all finishing sub-45 minutes. As usual a bit of healthy club competition drove some Striders on to achieving new personal best times.
As in previous years this event was the first 10k for several new Striders, who did exceptionally way to battle their way around the course on a warm and humid evening.
The evening couldn't have gone ahead without help from non-running Striders who all performed a number of important jobs on the night - many thanks to those who gave up their time to make this evening possible:
- Jason for all the hard work with the photographs
- Isobel, Rachel, Cheryl and Paul for keeping everyone safe out on the course
- Jo for tail-running
- Perry and Hannah for helping out at the start/finish.
Here are the full results - please do let me know if I've missed off pb or if it was your debut 10k.
