Road Running

Sunday 16 February.

There was a good Belgrave presence for the Bramley Road Races hosted by Reading Roadrunners.

The ten mile event saw the men's and women's fields headed by Belgravians as Phil Wicks took the men's event by nearly 5 minutes in 49:48 and Tish Jones dominated the women's race with a 7 minute victory in 55:54; that was good enough to place her 5th amongst all the men and reduced her club record by a further 92 seconds.  At 20 miles Sophie Carter made her debut as a Belgravian, placing 4th in 2:11:16.

Over in Spain Sam Amend was 5th in the XXIV Mitja Marato De Barcelona - 77:35 - while at Wrexham, also over the half marathon distance, Louise Blizzard was sent off course (as she was two years ago in the same event) but still ended up 3rd after covering extra distance.
