A large contingent of HRR competitors, and perhaps a larger contingent of HRR supporters, turned out on a bright sunlit day for Oxford’s premier community fun run. Boasting over 5,000 competitors, the race is a major event in the city calendar. The club enjoyed considerable podium success with, most significantly, Diane Foster winning the women’s race, a remarkable achievement in this prestigious event. Other category winners were Simon Dales (M50), Mark Jones (M60) and Phil Kimber (M70). We enjoyed a podium clean sweep in the M50 category with Simon followed home closely by Tim Betts and Carl Gaden. In addition to being first HRR man home and a top 20 finisher, Julien Lhomme was second in M40, a particularly competitive category. Other top 10 category finishers were Maddie Ding (F35), Yvonne Morris (F45), Jackie Duvall (F55), Cathy Davies (F65), David Sawyer (M60) and Graham Norris (M70+). More important than all of that was the fact that many of our members enjoyed participating in this wonderful race around the best parts of this beautiful city. |
