Husband and wife super duo Michael and Ashleigh Douglas made the journey west to compete on the coastal course.
In association with the British Heart Foundation, there were 4 distances on offer. From family orientated 1k and 5k options to chip timed 10k and 1/2 marathon. All set with the backdrop of Bournemouth’s 7 mile stretch of golden sands and sparkling sea. Being the 35th anniversary of the race it was 1980s themed with runners encouraged to run in fancy dress to add to the party atmosphere.
But it was business heads on for our dynamic duo as they tackled the 10k route, taking Ashleigh’s older sister Danni along for her first ever competitive race.
Michael blasted his way around to finish an amazing 4th overall in a super speedy 36.05. Ashleigh continued her recent good form with a fantastic 48.15 and 23rd female.
Great running Team Douglas xxx
