Micah Gibson leads the way for Bridlington Road Runners at Top of the Wolds 10K
Sunday saw a good contingent of Bridlington Road Runners tackle the Top of the Wolds 10km race in Warter which is held by Yorkshire Wolds Runners.
Despite the sunshine a strong wind greeted the runners as they headed out of the village onto the trails, writes Thomas Fynn.
The course, which is notorious for the hills, is a scenic rural route on multi-terrain with a stunning backdrop of the Yorkshire Wolds landscape.
For the Bridlington Road Runners men, Micah Gibson was the first male to finish the undulating course with a very strong time of 46:08.
Chairman Martin Hutchinson was next to follow in 47:28, and completing the men’s top three was Alan Feldberg.
For the ladies Miriam Ireland was quickest in 48:07, followed home by Jane Hounsome in 55:50, Heidi Baker also ran a strong race to complete in 1:00:37.
Impressing overall though was veteran Robert Calthorpe who ran the event in 1:12:28.
Brid Road Runners are gearing up for an exciting event this autumn as the popular Multi Terrain race returns on October 5.
However this year the Bridlington club have added a 10km trail race to the event along with the popular 5km Sewerby Sprint.
