Chris Williams report on the race:

Well it's a good job I've got a sense of humour ! I can't give much of a race report because I got sent the wrong way by the marshal and did not complete the course ! But here goes anyway. Me and my old mukka Henry arrived and registered at about 9.45. The race kicked off at 10.30 and I decided after my disaster at Weedon that it was too hot to tear off, so nice and easy does it. I must admit I was feeling quite good and at 4k I was able to pick up the pace a bit. Then it all went wrong ,me and the guy I was running with took the wrong turn at the 1st/2nd lap marker and found our selves running with the sub 40 minute gang ! So I finished in a very respectable 38 minutes and got a fantastic reception from the crowd which I did milk a bit ! It was very funny at the time but now I wish I'd stayed in bed.So well done to every one who took part on a sweltering day and for me ,well at least it was not a 1/2 marathon, god knows where I might have ended up!
