Sean Bowden had to drop out due to injury. Special mentions to Dave Daniel for turning out the day before the Birmingham Half Marathon and all the runners who answered the call to ensure that there were both full senior and vets teams for B&R (and so letting Len and Phil Anderson rest up for tomorrow’s race). Congratulations to Jamie for leading our men home and to Roger on his return to racing, seemingly recovered from his Lands End to John O’Groats cycle ride with fellow B&R member Mike Leci.

Mens A team (6 to score) 9th out of 16 senior teams. Vets (4 to score) team 11th out of 18 teams.
