Seventeen Eighteen Sphinx AC runners took part in this popular local event over an uncommon distance.
Conditions were variable! The race started with an overcast sky, but it quickly cleared and things warmed up – but then there was the odd shower and the heavens opened just as things were wrapping up at the venue. The run itself was mostly over public roads but there was stretch around/near a fishing lake and the final uphill stretch was quite a sting in the tail. Facilities were excellent – mugs of hot tea and coffee, cakes, indoor seating, ample car parking. Congratulations to Knowle & Dorridge for the excellent organisation and event management.
