This 10 K course is well known for being hilly with the first 2.5 mile run up a very steep hill. The humid weather made conditions even tougher, but the scenery made up for it as a great race. First home for striders was Luke Eggleston 38.49 and finishing in the top 40 places. Following was Ian Drage 40, 11, Jon Wilson 46.06 and David Hall 52.54.
This was the penultimate race in the Leicestershire Road Running League Summer Season and it was great to see so many Stilton Strider ladies racing to fight for what will be a top position in the league. First lady was Julie Bass 46.20 (2nd V category), followed by Michelle Farlow 48.56, Vicki Lowe 49.13, Greeba Heard 50.56, Helen Plant 51.08, Emma Hope 56.55, Vanessa Walker 57.26, Liz Parkinson 58.35, Deb Wilson 58.53.
