Netley 10k HRRL
The penultimate HRRL match of the road running season was run over three laps of the Royal Victoria Country Park, on mixed terrain. The dry start to the race didn’t last as a torrential downpour in the latter stages gave the runners the unexpected challenge of running in a monsoon. The finishers were even given towels by the organisers to dry themselves.
Reported finishing times were :
Ben Saunby 33:17 3rd
Peter Callanan 36:42
Reece Ingram 38:37
