Bourton 2014 10k race start

Start of the 2014 Bourton Highbridge Jewellers 10k Race

This scenic, flat and fast race is always popular with runners - this year, its 570 places were snatched-up within a record 24 hours. Runners faced strong winds ; but otherwise favourable conditions. Oliver, the race winner, improved on his 3rd place position last year.

Many of Bourton’s regular racers were marshalling, so the few club members who did take part had plenty of support from the sidelines. Mike Hobbs was the first home for Bourton (39:14), followed by Lucy Walmsley (39:43 and 3rd LV40), Rob Humphris (45:03), Alan Gibson (56:50) and Sue Whitehill (1:03:33). The biggest cheers of the day were for Doug Reeve, who has overcome a difficult past year of illness and injury and finished in 1:08:02.
