Last Sunday saw the annual running of the Telford 10k, a popular road race which takes place every December in Telford Town park and on the Silkin Way. With a net downhill and relatively few uphills, the potential for fast times draws in runners from all over the country, and places are coveted by runners looking for a PB. This year, 1,351 runners took part, in mild conditions that contrasted sharply with the freezing temperatures of last year’s race!
This year, Newport & District RC were represented by 9 runners, with Alex Millington the first past the finish line, with a time of 36 minutes, 47 seconds in 559th place. Scott May was next, taking 775th place in a time of 40:38, and Alex Cochrane clocked a time of 43:27 for 886th position. David Evans was next, taking 1,051st position in 48:55, whilst Emily Boardman was 1,130th in 53:33.
Helen Mason ran a time of 56:03 for 1,172nd position, and Louise Patterson broke the hour mark for the first time, getting herself a new PB in 59:04, just ahead of Phil Dolding, who was 1,224th in 59:06. Matthew Humphries finished 1,244th overall with his time of 1:00:57.
