Storm Claudia washed out the local parkruns, so a quiet news week. Many thanks to Linda for giving me something to write about!
Newent 9, by Newent Runners
Linda Edwards: Race Time: 1.00:19 ( gun time only)
About the race: The first time running this race and I was not disappointed as the route was pretty and a low key event with easy parking.
The gun time only (chip only at end) race starts off running around a field then after a short gravel path there is a long hill. The rest of the route is generally undulating (hilly) until near the end as you approach Newent. There are quite a few turns on and off pavements and a zebra crossing. The route was well marshalled however water was available only at the end.
The roads were not closed and a few cars on country lanes passing.
The race was very reasonably priced (£18 if I recall correctly) and a bobble hat, nice medal, sweets, hot drink and cake included.
I would definitely run this one again.
