The Bearbrook 10k Road Race proved to be another great race on Sunday: not only did it attract a record entry of 550 runners(race limit reached,) both the mens and ladies winners broke the course record.
The race which starts and finishes at Aylesbury Rugby Club and runs round the villages of Weston Turville, Wendover and Halton was this year supported by Up&Running, Aylesbury. It was last years winner, Steve Rees-Jones, from the Basingstoke and Mid Hants Club that broke the course record by 11 seconds to cross the finish line in a super fast 31mins 37secs, just ahead of David Wardle from Woodford Green AC who clocked 31.54 for second place. The lady winner, UK international runner Jo Wilkinson from Bedford County, smashed the ladies course record by over two minutes in a superb 34.28 which gave a great seventh place overall. At the finish Jo said it was a good course and a very well organised race which she will most certainly run again. Second lady home was Laura Cowley from Herts Pheonix in 37mins 07sec with Tamsin Neale from Burnham Joggers third lady clocking 39.09. Third man home was Paul Farmer from Ampthill & Flitwick Flyers in 33.4,6 chased by local Chiltern Harrier runner Derek Brown in fourth running 34.18 which gave him first place in his V40 age group. Charlie May from the Vale Of Aylesbury AC was fifth in 34.26 and his club mate Colin Steptoe had a good race to win the male V50 age group in 36.39. Chesham based Chiltern Harriers won both the male and female team prizes.
Organising club Bearbrook Joggers had very few runners since most of the club were required to make the race the success it was but they will be running the course on this Friday evening as their club handicap.

10k Results

Message from Paula, 10k Race Director: We had a record number of runners finish at our Bearbrook 10k on Sunday - 501 along with both course records being broken. As with previous years we have had positive feedback from the runners on the marshalls, administration, catering and general ambience of the day so a big thank you to all Bearbook members, families and friends who have been involved at every stage of planning and hosting the race.
