Eynsham 10k – 27 November 2016

The last in the Bourton Roadrunners’ Race Series, Eynsham 10k, took place on Sunday 27th November and excellent weather conditions helped in producing numerous personal best times.

Mike Smith led the 19 Club runners in with a time of 37:17. The ever improving Robin Goodwill, taking a minute and a half off his previous time, smashed his PB recording 38:33. Darren Long had given battle to Robin throughout the race but just lost out in the latter part, finishing in 38:43. Steph Lane, also coming back to form, was ‘oh so close’ to sub-40, with her time of 40:03. Andy Peaston, next in, was a little disappointed with his 42:24.
