Thanks to Kirsty for her report from last week’s Bure Valley 10 Mile Race:
On Sunday 28th September, 5 RntS runners and 2 fabulous cheerers went to the Bure Valley 10 mile race.
Set in Banningham, the route is on quiet country roads with minimal traffic. Starting outside the village hall we set off into the countryside, perfect weather conditions for a Sunday run. The course takes you out of the village until the road splits into a left or right turning. The route takes the left which then loops back round and you then come back onto the main road and head back up to the split where the second time, the right turning is taken. This leads out and up a hill past a church which then loops back round and takes you to the finish line back in Banningham on the village green. This section is where you may get to see the lead runners coming back. I was on 4.5 miles and the leader was heading for the 8 mile marker. Some very impressive running!
A great run from everyone with some great PBs too, plus David got 2nd in his age category. This was my 7th time doing this race (it’s definitely one of my favourites!) and I got my 3rd best time which I was really pleased with. This is an ideal race if you’re training or looking to step up to the half marathon distance and has a generous cut off time of 2 hours.
Homemade cakes and drinks available in the hall afterwards makes it a lovely morning out.
