Despite the attractive scenery, it was a tough multi-terrain course which challenged the 487 finishers.

Lisa and Carl Musson joined them along with Sean Bailey who turned in a particularly impressive performance after only recently joining the club on their Couch 2 5k programme, coached by Carl.

Results: Sean finished 78th in 49min 50secs, followed by Carl (54.07) in 150th, while Lisa clocked 1hr 12min 11secs for 412th place.
