Glorious blue skies greeted runners at the inaugural 5 mile event as a part of Bembridge Youth and Community Centre’s Festival of Sport.
Raising money for the Bembridge Youth and Community Centre, a fantastic turn out of club members stood on the startline to support this run in its first year.
5 beautiful off road miles through the countryside around the surrounding area, the course wind its way around Bembridge Down, continuing on to Bembridge Farm and finally along the cliff path at Whitecliff Bay where runners were treated to some fantastic views across the Channel.
It was by no means a walk in the park though, the course was sprinkled generously with hills, gates, steps and stiles. Coupled with the warm weather, it was quite a challenge.
However, the runners negotiated the well marshalled course with Bill Goozee crossing the line in 2nd overall, Abigail Farwell clinching the ladies title with Sarah Holmes coming in 3rd.
