This year's Midweek 10k road running league got underway with a race from starting and finishing from our track at Ridlins. Over 500 runners took part with the course heading out along Broadhall Way to the foorball ground and then through the showground before a loop at the lakes allowed runners to sweep round and head for home. 16 SNHAC runners took park, the largest number for some years.

The club filled all 3 top places in the U20 men's category with Isaac Whitten first in 35 minutes 43 seconds (also 5th overall in division 3). Harrison Lund was second in 46.43 (87th overall) and Alex Pickard 3rd (50 minutes , 104th overall). In the U20 women Amelie Hobbs won in 44.03 (7th overall).

Isaac led the men's team home overall, followed by Chris Westcott who was also the winner in the V50 category (8th overall, 36.05). Next in was Adam Searle (39 minutes, 24th overall). Then it was Paul Spicer (41.31, 44th), Andy Robson (42.29, 52nd), Paul Murphy (44.29, 61st), Trevor Mason (47.53, 93rd), Phil Turner (52.54, 121st), Paul Pickard (54.05, 128th) and Bob Whitten (65.44, 140th).

For the women Amelie was joined by Alex Gates (45.55, 16th), Rebecca Pickard (51.00, 40th) and Colette Law (65.44, 74th). Overall the combined team came 7th.

As we were co-hosting the race a special thank you must go to those who gave up their evening to help marshal or manage the finish tunnel. These events just wouldn't be possible without you.

The next race is in Harpenden on Tuesday 6th June and we hope to see a good number of SNHAC runners in action again!
