Gloucestershire County Cross-Country Relays - 29 September
Bourton Roadrunners only managed to raise two teams in the Gloucestershire County Cross-Country Relays, but both managed to gain medals on the day.
The Super-vet 60 team started with Brian Hulcup storming round the 1st-leg to take them into the lead. Norm Lane took on the 2nd-leg and held the Gold medal position well. Robin Macdonald in his first race in some months ran the final-leg and despite being caught half way round held on valiently for a well deserved, if somewhat surprising, silver team award.
Richard Bufton took on the 1st-leg of our ‘scratch’ vet 40 team and dug in for a good 1st-lap. Chris Hartley after ankle surgery ran a exiting and enthuiastic 2nd-lap and held up well. Fresh from running the fastest vet 60 lap of the day, Brian Hulcup kept the team in 3rd position after the 3rd-lap. Norm Lane dragged in to run the final-leg held the teams position, despite much younger opposition for the team to snatch a brilliant Bronze Medal.
