Asda Foundation Nottingham 10K


Four members of Grantham Running Club took part in the Asda Foundation Nottingham 10K on Sunday June 16th. The event this year took on a new route in the University of Nottingham campus, which made the race a testing, undulating affair, with nearly 400ft of elevation gain.
First home for GRC was Stefan Latter in 43:58, followed by Sam Dodwell in 46:13 with Paul Kelly a minute behind in 47:34 and Caroline Davis coming in at 50:48. The testing course meant there were no personal bests on the day but the four were pleased to all be within a couple of minutes of their best and all complimented the organisers for the slick operation of the race and quality goodie bag for finishers.
Patrick Townsend of Notts AC was the race winner in 34:40, with Nicole Swaffield of Loughborough Students/Charnwood AC the first female to finish in 38:28 and Karen Harvey the first of three non-binary finishers in 53:35. There were 1142 finishers.
