Five Striders joined over 500 other runners in Whitwick for this year’s Hermitage 10k, this year renamed in tribute to one of the Hermitage Harriers’ closest friends and supporters. The race was the penultimate event in this year’s Leicestershire Road Running League and this was reflected in the quality field competing.
First Strider home over the hilly course, continuing the great form shown recently, was Jason Barton in 7th place overall (6th male) in a time of 35.58. Next Strider, and 4th junior male, was Luke Eggleston in 42.50, with Jon Wilson (48.01), Debs Wilson (60.29) and Stuart Gregory (63.06) completing the team.
