10 SNHAC athletes made the short trip to Harpenden on Tuesday evening to run in the second Midweek 10k road running league race. This is a beautiful course which starts and finishes at the rugby club and the weather conditions were ideal. It was also a course that was far from flat and incorporated a number of trails!

Leading the way again was Isaac Whitten who maintained his top spot in the U20 men's category coming 8th overal in 37 minutes 34 seconds. He was followed home by Adam Searle (25th, 39.54). Despite saying he was taking it easy having run the Stockholm Marathon just 72 hours earlier, Paul Murray was next back in 44.09 (55th). The other SNHAC runners in the men's race were Trevor Mason (48.35, 94th), Phil Turner (54.06, 128th) and Bob Whitten (65.54, 151).

Amelie Hobbs led the women home in a time of 45.22 (12th) with Alex Gates 16th in 45.22. Rebecca Pickard and Jenny Cotter matched each other stride for stride around the course with Rebecca just edging it in the end to come 40th in 51.55, 4 seconds and 1 place ahead of Jenny.

Overall, the team came 7th and are looking forward to an equally scenic race 3 next week near Royston.
