update from the race ,very cold on sunday and just about made it to event on time as my lift was late .as i got there to collect my bib i noticed that the 90% of the runners were from running clubs bath/notts and all over some sort off club championships awards after.

the race was fine out off the town and out into rolling countryside with some hills which i soon learnt not run up full speed ,had little moment at 9.5 miles where my breathing just went so i just stopped for 30 secs then pushed on to finish 1hr.16.15 and 135th /600 no pic of me ive got a few but instead this amazing lady

Team GB member, Louise Simpson, competing as a blind runner. She wasn’t alone though, as she had a guide and running partners from the Royston Runners, keep running and happy new year to you all

A very special lady.

Well done on the run moger. Brilliant result!

My hubby used to live in St Ives and knows your area very well. Apparently Buntingford is a very pretty village.

Happy New Year to you.

Well done Gary! Lovely pic of that amazing lady, I used to life guard sight impaired swimmers at Chesterton Sports Club, that's amazing too.
