Whilst some Westies ventured East to participate in the Great South Run, 7 others travelled West for a different 10 mile race in Weymouth.

​

An early start for us all meant it was rather chilly waiting at the start line. There was a bit of a headwind as we started along the prom. Then there was the climb up Bowleaze Coveway for the first time; a small respite before the uphill into the caravan park. After the drinks station we had to negotiate a rather potholed, muddy road, still going uphill before heading back down to the edge of the prom for the next loop up Bowleaze. It was a relief to get round the second time knowing the last 5k was all downhill or flat and with the wind now behind us.

​

It was very close between Adam and Pete D in the men's race and between Tracey and Sandra for the ladies. 

​

Congratulations to Pete who earned a first in his age category.
