New Forest 10

The picturesque New Forest proved to be a beautiful setting for this multi terrain 10 mile race.

Largely fast and flat this forest trail course begins at New Park Farm, just north of Brokenhurst taking our 6 roadrunners around a very scenic circuit amongst the trees and ponies.Danny Faulkner made his competitive comeback to cross the line first out of our little team in a tidy 67 mins.

“I was nowhere near a PB, but all things considered I’m quite happy. The hip injury seems to be going and the various niggles aren’t causing as many problems”

Kev Rann was next in breaking 80 minutes, with Nick Scott-Denness and James Shoulder both breaking 90. The girls ran well despite the heat with Jo Randall coming in way under 2 hours and Lyn Snow completing the team.

“It was grubby on those stony tracks, my legs were so dusty by the end! It was very hot but I knocked a minute off last year’s time! I loved the marshals with water spays!” said Jo

No medals for this race though, the runners earns themselves a rather unique horse brass instead.
