Following the summer lockdown, this was the first race
for a long time for many runners, and the first 5k
distance for even longer due to the lack of the club 5k
series and with Parkrun having been cancelled for so
long. The weather did not look promising but those who
got out before 9:30am or waited until late afternoon
avoided the worst of the rain and gales although fairly
strong winds were present throughout the day. Despite
this being a virtual race due to the "rule of six" most
runners opted to run the official club 5k course and many
were able to meet up in small groups and help spur each
other on resulting in several PBs. There were a few
murmurings about the course being slightly short, but we
have been assured that the signage was in the correct
place and the course was officially measured as described
at https://hrr.org.uk/5k/
Congratulations and well done to all the participants,
and thanks for helping raise well over £100 for OXSRAD.
Age grading was calculated using the 2015 tables found at
