This week 115 people ran, jogged and walked the course, of whom 13 were first timers and 20 recorded new Personal Bests. Representatives of 12 different clubs took part.
Overseas visitor Tim Price topped the podium this week with a time of 18:35. Following close behind was Kevin Grogan in 18:53, looks like Kevin is making another comeback! Third place was Ken Endrizzi rounded out the top three with a new PB of 19:41.
