GRAND PRIX 2005 

Race 8, The Aldridge 10k, 12th June. 

Seventeen Birchfield Harriers supported the ever-popular Aldridge 10k whilst the 5k Fun Run saw 3 ‘Stags’ taking part. On what was a cool Sunday morning for June the intrepid 17 found that they had to contend with not only the weather but also a tough, hilly course. Needless to say times were moderate, however with a new course set last year, Rachel found that not only was she first woman home but also claimed a new course record.

Ann also went home with the W45 first prize and our very own ‘Pricey’ picked up the prize for first M55. Alex just missed out on the M60 prize by 29 seconds, while John was third in the M70+ category. Kenny, although 4th in the M70+ may well have been winner in the M75 category if there had been one! 

Overall in the GP, with 2 worst races now being dropped, Alex is still first with an extended 34-point lead. Changes are Peter Lawton up to 8th, Alan Price up to 13th and Rachel Cook up to 15th.
