MK 10K

Tuesday night saw six people from the club head over to the Open University in MK for the final race in the East Midlands Grand Prix Series and the Milton Keynes 10K. This is a flat fast course around the redways that heads up to Willen Lake and back.

Fred Watt and Pete Mackrell were doing there 7th race of the series and a good performance from Pete would earn him a top eight finish overall and a prize to go with it. Fred was standing in third place in the V60 category, but really good run could see him gain second. Overall results were taken on the best five positions of the series. read more

Most of the route is off-road and unmarshalled so you have to know where you are going, otherwise rely on signposts and navigation.

For the first time this year there were forty teams permitted to enter and it was still oversubscribed. We had four teams taking part with a ladies team, two senior men's teams and a bunch of old boys. read more
