It was a tale of two days as the first runBristol off-road weekend came to fruition across two days of running at Ashton Court. On the Saturday nearly 800 runners took part in the inaugural Ashton Court off-road 10k and Westbury were well represented.
Leading the way Stephen Fowley was 27th in 45.56, Vicky Shufflebotham was 51st in 48.13, David Baber was 175th in 54.47, Anthony Bird was 288th in 58.46 and Daine Heys was 390th in 1.02.27.
Then onto Sunday, with the McCain challenge arriving in Bristol. The fields was disappointingly small in all races, with only 30 in the Senior Mens and 28 in the Senior Ladies. Unfortunately, given the organizers chose to go against both the regional XC League and the Sodbury Slog on the same day, they were perhaps as large as one could have hoped for. Luckily size didn't imply lack of quality, as the ladies race was won by GB international Gemma Steel, who finished way ahead of fellow international Naomi Tachimowitz. Steel clocking 25.25 to Tachimowitz' 26.07. Fellow international Justina Heslop was 3rd in 26.16. Westbury were represented by Emma D'Alton who finished 19th in 28.51.
Meanwhile in the Senior Mens race, a "local" lad ended up the winner as Wells City Harriers' Frank Tickner won in a time of 29.56, from Phil Wicks of Belgrave Harriers. Steve Mitchell of B&W finished 9th in a time of 31.39.
Well done all!
