Last Saturday, Dave Thomas and Dale Fordham represented Newport & District Running Club at the Tissington Trail 10k. Starting and finishing just outside Ashbourne town centre in Derbyshire, the route follows the Tissington Trail on a gentle climb into the Peak District, before turning around for a downhill finish on an out-and-back course. 

Dave Thomas on his way to an age category victory!

149 runners turned out in the bright winter sunshine, which defrosted the odd patch of ice which had lingered on the course overnight. Dave was the first Novaportan runner back, with a time of 50 minutes, 45 seconds and took 14th position whilst winning his age category. Dale was 27th overall in a time of 53:18.
