Cirencester Athletics and Triathlon Club

TIM INGHAM spent his Wednesday evening running back and forth over the Severn Bridge in a five miles night run but we can report he was home by bed time and stalwart club supporter Steve Millward of Gloucester Sports was just a bit too fast for him.

Westonbirt House Christmas 10km, multi terrain

Continuing the seasonal theme, Ivan Quinlan ran the local Christmas 10k at Westonbirt House.

The two lap course included sections of road and slippery grass as it wound its way through the shrubberies and along the terraces of these once grand gardens to end in a short flight of steps.

Ivan looked comfortable and behind him Trevor James and Chris Goldie enjoyed the festive feel.

1 Dan Lewis (Mick Morris Racing) 34.35

91 Ivan Quinlan (Cirencester AC) 47.36 (chip time 47.32)

Parkruns

Ollie Campbell (Luke’s 14 year old brother and new comer to the club) demonstrated that running speed goes in families at Chippenham finishing an impressive ninth place.
