Bourton One Mile Challenge - 20 July 2014

The Bourton One Mile Challenge (organised annually by Norm and Ali Lane, with proceeds going to the Arthritis Trust), attracted a record number of entrants, with 161 runners taking part in the fast, furious and fun event.

There were two races: the main race attracted a large number of club runners, as it was included in the Gloucestershire County Road Race series and was also the County Championship Mile race. There was also a fun run over the same distance, which was equally hard fought.

The main race was won by Dave Roper (Cheltenham & County Harriers) in 4:30, with 2nd and 3rd places being taken by his club-mates, Anthony Bailey (4:37) and John Parker (4:38). The 3 leading ladies were Rachel Felton from Stroud and District AC (who managed 5:11 despite falling at the start), Bourton’s Shona Crombie-Hicks (5:28) and Bourton’s U13 Niamh Powell (5:33).

With 54 Bourton Roadrunners taking part, it was not surprising that the club featured heavily in the prize list with age category wins and gold county medals going to Ewen Smith (MV45 5:02) , Shona Crombie-Hicks (LV40), Niamh Powell (LU13), Tony Goodwill (MV55 6:01), Dylan Williams (MU11 5:31), Niamh Shoemark (LV45 6:05), Rosie Davidson (LU15 6:26), Steph Holton (LV50 6:53) and Liz Hulcup (LV60 6:47) and Norm Lane (MV70 9:23)

Silver medals were awarded to Tom Pinkham (MU15 5:29), Helena West (LU11 6:35), Susan Hunt (LV45 6:40), Isobel Hartley (LU13 7:51).

Bronze went to Jake Astor (MU11 5:59), Brian Hulcup (MV60 6:19), Isobel Barnet (LU11 6:38) and Lynn Hudson (FV55 7:56)
