The medical teams had an easier day than last year as conditions at Uttoxeter this time around were ideal for running in the Half Marathon, 10km and junior events.
The Half Marathon, starting and finishing at Uttoxeter Racecourse, made up the second race in the Burton and District Summer League. Ben Evans set the lead pace early on but faded in the later stages of the race to finish 4th with 1:21:09 and win the Men’s 40-44 category.

Derek Bolton continued his steady improvement in results finishing the tough hilly course with a time of 1:36:32; taking 3rd place in the Men’s 55-59 category. Rebecca Hobbs completed the Tamworth line up, crossing the line on 1:46:06.
