The race route is an accurately measured 10k along roads and tarmac footpaths in Birchwood and Croft, the course is underlating with most of the hard work in the last 3km. It is based at Birchwood shopping center and organised by Spectrum Striders.
In 2015 the course was changed to go though the technology park.
There was great turnout for the Birchwood 10K this year. Tom led the club home and Tom, Andrew, Lynda, Michael, Miranda, Elaine, Charles and Joanna all achieved PBs. The men's team of Tom, Mark, Steve and Perry came first, and the ladies team of Lyn, Tarja and April were the second ladies team overall.
This years race was in damp and windy conditions but this did not stop Tom from producing a PB and one of the best 10K times of the year. There were also PBs from Kevin, April, Ian, Kate and Lianne.
There was possible the clubs largest turnout for this Championship race despite the sweltering heat. Tom and Jenny led the club home and there were PBs for Andrew, Will and Jenny. Well done all.
There was a large turnout for this local and despite the heavy showers before the race everyone got around the course. The course itself was different from last year and seemed slightly longer hence the subdue times.
It was a fine day for running and another impresive turnout. PBs were recorded by Pete, Steve, Jerry, Russ, Andrew Holland, Jude and Brian, and there were fine debuts by Andrew Dalton, Anil and Sara.
