15 Sphinx AC runners took part in the first of this year’s six races, with Ashley Miles and Kyza Derby winning prizes for their performances.
A number of Sphinx runners ran today just a week after running the toughest race of their lives (to date!) – Beachy Head Marathon. This wasn’t made any easier by the conditions, which were blowy, to say the least! Within two minutes of starting, it started raining and the (infamous) wind down the back straight was quite tough to contend with.
The course this year is back to its traditional route, which is flatter and faster.
Tragically, Sphinx were unsuccessful in the post-race raffle, having been pipped to the prizes by newcomers, Spa Striders.

Julie Cozens took some great shots, despite the wind and rain!
