Running Somewhere Else

Cirencester Park Summer 10k

THE Running Somewhere Else Club enjoyed a great turn-out at the Cirencester Park Summer 10k.

Although it was a very hot and sticky evening and the course included running up 'Big Bertha' twice, our 23 members ran a fantastic race and there were fabulous results from everyone.

Two of our members were among the prize winners.

Congratulations go to Matt Lambourne who came third overall and Kate Potter who came first in her age category (V65).

Matt, Mark Manley and Alex Alimo also finished second in the male team event.

Ras y Cerrig Las fell race

JAMES THOMAS completed yet another fell race on Saturday. The Ras y Cerrig Las fell race is known as the smaller cousin to the Preseli Beast and takes place over parts of the Ultra Beast route covering the eastern end of the Preselis.

The course was a seven-mile off- road route which included 1,100ft of ascent.

Massive congratulations to James who finished in first place and received some local beers as a prize.
