Brass Monkey 10K

(L to R) Lucinda, Simon and Stuart

On Sunday three members of Grantham Running Club participated in the 7th annual Brass Monkey 10k race in support of Lakelands Hospice, Corby held at Rockingham Motor Speedway in Northamptonshire. In warmer than expected temperatures and under a blue sky (at times) any hope of personal bests was soon dashed due to the high winds in the exposed location. There was a large turnout of over 550 runners and some wheelchair racers for this event around the banked speedway circuit. Travelling at somewhat less than the lap record of 215mph Stuart Baty came home in 134th place in a time of 50:44 with Simon Hartley finishing in 62:29 and Lucinda Gamble finishing in 68:50. All three were members of last year’s very popular and successful 10 weeks to 10k programme run by Grantham Running Club and have participated in a number of events since their graduation
