Disused railway tunnels and flying monks fail to slow Frome runners in August
Frome runners at the Hullavington 10K |
On the same day, more Frome Club runners made their way to Wiltshire for the Hullavington 10K. Joseph Donworth (MSEN) again led the field for Frome in this undulating, picturesque course, coming in fifth overall with a time of 00:34:57. He was followed by Martin Ward (MV60) in 00:53:40 and Helen James (FSEN) in 01:07:58.
The following Sunday, 26 August, more runners took part in the Malmesbury Flying Monk 10K. The race gets its name from the 11th Century monk Eilmer of Malmesbury and his fledgling attempts at human flight. Unlike Eilmer, Frome’s Club runners reach the finish line unscathed, with Martin Ward (MV60) taking fourth position in category with a time of 00:51:29, followed by Richard Riley in 00:51:59.
Frome Running Club offers both on and off-road training and welcomes new members, whatever the ability. For more details, visit www.fromerunningclub.co.uk.
