Last Wednesday, Newport & District Running Club were well represented at the Vic Musgrove 5k, the fourth race in Telford AC’s “Sexarathon” series. Starting near Telford Hornets Rugby Club on Dark Lane, the route takes runners down similar paths to Telford parkrun, with some variations, around Randlay Pool and along the Silkin Way, finishing next to the Ampitheatre. As such, the route has a massively net downhill elevation profile, and is ideal for PBs.
Alex Millington was the first NDRC runner to finish, taking 49th position overall in a time of 17 minutes, 32 seconds. He was followed by Robin Guy, who was 85th overall in 18:54, and Alex Cochrane, who clocked a time of 19:07 in 93rd place. Peter Johnstone was next, 137th in a time of 20:31, just ahead of Phil Dolding, who stopped the clock at 20:35 in 138th. Philip Hill was 160th overall with his time of 21:40, closely followed by Philip Link, who finished 166th in a time of 21:58. David Brown also clocked 21:58, finishing 173rd, whilst Graham Rogers finished 196th in 23:03, just ahead of David Evans, who ran a time of 23:12 for 198th place.
Amy Hughes crossed the line 241st with her time of 24:30, just 10 seconds ahead of Helen Mason, who finished 247th. Oliver Stokes was 282nd with his time of 26:12, whilst Selwyn Plant finished 291st in 26:38. Louise Patterson set herself a new 5k PB with her time of 26:46 in 293rd, taking 11 seconds off her previous best, whilst Ralph Humphries finished 297th in a time of 27:22. Heather Campbell-Miles clocked 31:05 whilst finishing 339th, followed by Simon Taylor , who was 344th in 31:33.
