CHARD Road Runners were spread across a few events on Bank Holiday Sunday - two races being a 10k Road Race and a 10k off-road trail race and one being a less formal trail race to run as far as you can within 12 hours.

First off the mark were Mick and Vicky Whitworth, who travelled down to Budleigh for the Jurassic Coast 10k.

The Whitworths started the race together, picking up pace as the race progressed into the countryside.

Mick started to pull ahead and, with a final push, crossed the line in 1h 11m 23s (230/299).

Vicky kept a good pace and final sprint to cross the line in 1:16:29 (265/299).

Next race was the Langport Runners' Battle of Sedgemoor 10k.

This fast-paced race heading out of Langport took runners out across the Somerset Levels.

Seven CRRs took part, with Andrew Leeson seeking to make a good start in the near-400 pack.

Keeping on his heels was Kieron Chapman, and Hannah Dowling was picking up early places with Nikki Long and Kenny Timson both chasing hard.

Claire Gibbs made good progress along with Lizzie Smith.

Andrew Leeson crossed the line first.

Results - 27 Andrew Leeson 41:27; 144 Kieron Chapman 50:46; 200 Hannah Dowling 55:36; 272 Nikki Long 1:02:23; 274 Kenny Timson 1:02:25; 291 Claire Gibbs 1:03:53; 355 Elizabeth Smith 1:12:24; 365 Nicola Smith 1:14:46.

The last event for CRRs was the East Farm Frolic which is an off-road multi-lap race where the race is all about how far the runner can cover between 1hr and 12 hours.

Helen Baxter was CRRs’ representative, and kept good, steady pace with nine laps completed in 7h 25m 59s and covering over 30 miles of hilly trails.
