Several Halstead Road Runners took part in the Gosfield 4K Fun Run. Andrew Bailey, Gavin Allen (running for Braintree AC) Taylor Murdy, Luke Allen, Vicky Lovegrove and Emma Lovegrove .With temperatures soaring to over 30 degrees this made for very difficult running conditions.

The course was mainly off road through farm tracks and fields. 52 runners took part with a mixture of adults and juniors.

The winner was 10 year old Luke Allen who stormed around the 4k course (12 seconds in front of 2nd place) in a time of 17mins 52 secs breaking the all time course record!!

Andrew Bailey and Gavin Allen did not run competitively but still finished respectively in 3rd and 4th positions.

Taylor Murdy, Vicky and Emma Lovegrove also had superb runs with Emma coming home first junior girl, another great result for the Halstead juniors.


WELL DONE to all!
