The Men’s event was won by Notts AC in a time of 4 hrs 0 mins 28 secs.
The Ladies’s event was won by Bristol & West AC in a time of 1 hr 47 mins 39 secs.
B&R AC team results:
Men’s A Team 4 hrs 31 mins 17 secs, 15th out of 55 complete teams
Men’s B Team 5 hrs 1 min 41 secs, 40th
Ladies’ Team 2 hrs 15 mins 16 secs, 25th out of 52 complete teams
The men’s race was four long legs (all the way to Streetly Gate and back, 8.96km/5.57 miles) and eight short legs (turning at the Jamboree Stone, 5.14km/3.19 miles), run in the order of LSLSLSLSSSSS. The ladies’ race was six short legs.
There was a slight alteration to the course this year – the triangle loop in the first mile was extended. Apparently in the olden days there was a longer section around Keeper’s Pool, but that bit looked to me the same as last year.
