Shropshire 4 Mile Race
Last wednesday, around 220 local athletes gathered at the Shropshire Golf
Complex for the third race in Telford AC's Sexarathon series. Run over a
distance of four miles, the course included two laps round Granville
Country Park and finished on the drive of the golf course.
Conditions on the night were extremely warm with little or no breeze and
some runners found this quite tough, setting off too fast and wilting
slightly in the heat in the latter stages.
Newport and District Running Club had their now usual mass turnout with 43
of the club taking part. Again the largest of any club that evening.
Chris Davies of Telford AC led the race from the off and won in a time of
20m 47s, with Paul Ward of Wrekin Road Runners 2nd in 21m 06s. A new
member of the Newport club, Dan Lewis, had a storming run to finish third
in 21m 16s and we hope to see a lot more of him in the future.John Garmson
had a good run to achieve sixteenth in 23m 04s with Noel Hogan pushing him
all the way in 18th in a time of 23m 36s.
Sympathy was with Andy Thompson who only ran around half a mile of the
race before pulling up with a calf injury, but he hopes to be able to run
in the next race in a few weeks time.
Robin Guy had no such problems and showed that he was back after missing
the last race through injury by finishing 31st in 24m 32s. Steve Tudor
produced a good run to gain 2nd in his age group and 36th place overall in
25m 01s.
Ian Kevan and Glenn MacDonald-Jones had their own personal battle within
the race with Ian just coming out the winner in 38th position in 25m 10s
and Glenn 39th just two second behind.
Another new member, Rachel Stoares, did really well to be 4th lady home in
48th position in 25m 56s, closely followed by Lindsay Ferguson in 26m 05s
to gain 52nd place. Richard Guy also had a good run in the heat to be 56th
in 26m 23s.
