Bembridge Trail 5

A slightly cooler sky greeted runners at the 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 third 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 were runners were treated to some fantastic views across the Channel. 

It was by no means a walk in the park though, the course was peppered generously with hills, gates, steps and stiles.

Ross Wilkes was the first IWRR back in just under 32 minutes to finish in 3rd overall with Stu Backhouse and Bill Goozee in 4th and 5th respectively.

In the ladies race it was Jodie Wilmott that was the first IWRR home taking 2nd place. 

Stu Backhouse also clinched the top vet trophy, with Simon Riley in 3rd.
