On a fine morning for running, 25 members joined just under 300 for the race over a mainly flat course.

Gary's time was 32.34, perhaps a little slower than he might have hoped for as he still has the after- effects of the Edinburgh Marathon in his legs.

He was ably supported by Richard Hall, fifth in 36.15, and Cameron Choules, seventh in 36.28, and those three carried off the men's team prize.

Richard also took first prize in the O-40 category.

Walter Busuttil is getting back into form, finishing 16th in 37.53.56.28, Wendy Holden 239th in 57.20, Cath Lumb 253rd in 59.12, Phillip Craig 264th in 61.21, Marian Codling 273rd in 63.10 and Lydia Evitt 291st in 72.45.
