Another fantastic turn out for the 3rd handicap race of the year with 53 runners starting making this one of the largest fields ever for a club handicap event. Unfortunately, illness and injury prevented Jayne Anderson and Matt Timothy from completing the testing 5 mile course around the villages of Birdingbury and Frankton. Nothing prevented Ian Hamilton from storming through the field to win the race in 35:31 over a minute clear of Pete Hall, who was running for the first time as a Sphinx member rather than a guest. Pete Haughton, who is consistently finishing in the top ten across the line, came home in 3rd place. The fastest run of the evening came from Justin Smith in a new course record of 30:02 with Andy Lovelock, Andy & Ian Wilkinson also breaking the previous record 31:18.

  <p>
    For the second time in three races Kevin Naughton was nearest to his estimated time matching his estimate by finishing in a time of 35:20.
