Grantham Running Club members Brian Hawkins and Anna Harding take part in a 10k trail race at Spilsby Show




The Spilsby Show took place over the weekend in Lincolnshire and featured a 10k trail race hosted by Skegness and District Running Club.

With the start and finish being placed in the heart of the showground, the race had a great atmosphere being surrounded by a heavy horse show, vintage vehicles, dog shows and crowds.

Around 180 runners lined up to take on the trail route that headed across a farmyard and out to country tracks including Grantham Running Club members Brian Hawkins and Anna Harding.

Brian raced out for mile one at a pace too quick for a 10k trail so slowed a little to settle into a good rhythm.

Anna went out equally too fast, so slowed down and decided to not look at her watch and just run.

There were a couple of challenging inclines, especially a nice long one for the last mile on tired legs.

The event was an enjoyable morning race, relaxed with lots of smiling faces and something a bit different as a race village.

Brian came in sixth place and first bmale veteran 40 in 38:28 while Anna was 11th female and third female veteran 45-49 in 51:41.
