The third running of the Hursley runs is now behind us. We hope that everyone who was there had an enjoyable day and that all the runners enjoyed their runs. We've had good weather at all of the previous runs and this year was certainly no exception.
There were a few minor glitches for which I do apologise. How could I lose the list of winners!? That's me banished to the furthest corner of the route next year! And for those of you who thought that you'd lost six hours of your lives when you looked at the race clock at the finish line, you'll be relieved to know it was a glitch with the clock and you are credited with the correct time in the official results.
Please do send us any feedback you may have. All feedback is taken into consideration when planning the next run.
Congratulations to our winners. The 10k was a replay of last year with Andrew Welch the winning male in a time of 34:49 and Natalie Cain the winning female with a time of 40:18. The first male in the 5k was Ali Badcock (who is a lettings manager working for our main sponsor, The Halifax) who finished in 19:49 and the winning female was Sandra Bowers with a time of 22:13.
The amount raised for the village causes was around £5000.00.
The routes that we run are only possible with the permission of the Hursley Estate owners, so we would like to thank Finian and Diana O'Sullivan for giving us access to the private areas of their Estate. Please note that now the event is over all runners are asked not to enter the private areas of Hursley Estate and Ampfield Woods.
The run would not be the success it is without the help of the many volunteers who give up their time leading up to, and at, the event. A big thank you to each and every one of you.
And finally, thank you to all our sponsors for your help and sponsorship.
Kind regards
