Congratulations to Peter Grist of Team Bath AC and Aine Halton-Hanley of Chippenham Harriers who led home the 300 strong field in the thirteenth edition of the Wiltshire 10 road race at Melksham.
Three hundred runners headed to Melksham for the 13th edition of the Wiltshire 10 road race. With the weather being kinder to us this year we were able to head out of King George V Playing fields along the Millennium Riverside Walk and into Forest Lane before heading out and around Lacock before finishing back in the town park.
Leading home the field in a time of 54-minutes and 57-seconds was Peter Grist of Team Bath AC with Timothy Swinn from Bristol & West AC and Michael Passmore of Swindon Harriers hot on his heels.
In the Ladies race, Aine Halton-Hall of Chippenham Harriers claimed her first victory at the race, recording a time of sixty two minutes and 34-seconds with Jenny Carter of Team Bath AC second and Rachel Stowell of Bitton Road Runners third.
Age group winners were: 1st MV40 – Tom Dudden of Team Bath AC; 1st MV50 – Christopher Redshaw of Avon Valley Runners; 1st MV60 – Paul Reddaway of Ware Joggers; 1st FV40 – Victoria Ryan of Wells City Harriers; 1st FV50 – Vicky Henderson of Corsham Running Club; 1st FV60 – Lynette Porter of Bitton Road Runners.
