This year’s Bowline race was certainly one of toughest yet! A gruelling 14 miles of Hills & Mud, running through Bradgate Park/Broombriggs and Beacon Hill, after Saurday’s rainfall it definitely made the conditions more challenging.
9x Wreakies were lined up at the start out of a field of only 304x entrants
We had all ran this course many times on the build up to the race, but RACING it is a very different experience!
It was Matt’s first time racing the route and with an amazing time of (1:49.10) was first home for the team, Captain Luke was next in at (1:54.10)
With his London Marathon training going well Postman Bush was next in (1:58.01) followed by Dr Speed (1:58.51)
Next it was Scott (2:02.39) / Brian Stevens (2:06.59)
Jon completed the race in (2:21.18)… fortunately for us there were no buses on the route so had no choice but to complete the course! J
Our very own tough girl Liz Collo had a fantastic run, 37th Lady finisher (2:27.46)
And our final finisher was Richard Palmer (2:41.25)…. Great work Rich!
Well done to everyone who took part, If you’ve never tried this race then next year you should definitely give it a go!
