As a scorching hot day in Bedford cooled to a sultry twenty-two degrees, thirteen members of LBAC joined about 350 other runners in Bedford Park for the Doug Anderson 5K. This was the club championship for the second year running and is the shortest of the road race distances.

As ever, each individual had their own personal target, but Simon Coombes was after a new club record as a V40, having recently joined the old boys category!

The course is two and a half laps of the park which feels completely flat at a jog or walk, but when you are coming round for the third time there is a very slight incline can take the wind from your sails if your not on top form. read more

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
