Race Report

On the same day as the GNR, it was a shame that these events did not attract more support, especially as it was a very enjoyable run in some spectacular scenery.

The 20 mile and 10 mile events shared the same start before separating at about the four mile point.

Suet Lua got off to a very fast start, disappearing into the morning mist, and I didn't see her again until just before four miles when she followed the 10 mile course whilst I continued on the 20 mile route.  At the beginning the route was well marked with red and white tape but, as the course got further away  from Dunstable, the markers became a bit scarce with the result that many people got lost with the result that any hopes of decent times went out the window so people just relaxed and enjoyed  the run.

The Dunstable club produced a very nice certificate which was a change from the usual tee-shirt which shrinks to nothing.
