7 Chepstow Harriers tok part in the Gloucester 10 Mile road race on the 6th January. On a lovely winters day (if a little chilly) A couple of the Chepstow Athletes were facing the wrong way at the shout of “Go!” due to a chat about whether they really wanted to be doing this or not.

On a good fast course, if a little hilly and icy in places Matthew Lawson led the harriers home in 1:03:47 (21st) Steve Harris cam in 1:04:55 to set a new PB to claim 24th spot. First of the Ladies Lou Summers 1:14:58 in 131st overall.
Nicki Morgan (170th in 1:18:34) Vanessa Lawson (191st in 1:20:48), Colin Prosser (199th 1:21:38) and Syd Wheeler (217th in 1:23:25) Which I believe is a new club record for a MV70 at this distance.

The winner clocked a decent time of 54:11 (If only!!) and 306 pople completed the race.
