West Norfolk AC’s Sammy Stringer took third place in her age group at the Loch Lomond 10k.
She was one of several WNAC endurance athletes competing recently across many different races.
Stringer clinched a cash prize for her efforts as she completed the 10k course in 50min17sec.
William Hayes took part in the popular Peterborough 5k series which takes place on weekday evenings throughout the summer. He came away with a solid time of 19.14.
There are two more races to go in the series which also includes a 3k race for juniors.
Lewis English took on the Saucony 10k, fresh off the back of his recent sub 17-minute 5k.
On another hot day, English came away with a great result of 36 minutes, for another personal best time.
The speedy trio of Mitchell Bunn, Cassie Moden and Ryan Watts took on the Whitemoor five miler.
It was a successful trip to March for them with all three on the podium.
Bunn and Watts took second and third overall, with excellent times of 29.02 and 30.15.
Moden won the senior female category with 35.52, setting a club record in the process, closely followed by friend of the club Beth Moden in 37.39.
The weather wasn’t ideal for the Holkham series of races. There were strong head winds in parts, particularly the uphill section, as well as some intense heat.
To add another element of difficulty, the 10k race was held on the start line for 20 minutes while the organisers rerouted the course to avoid a wasps nest.
Juniors Henry Gosnell and Oliver Gayton both took on what was a 10.3k course, both commenting on it being the most difficult course they’ve done in their first year being eligible to run the event.
Gosnell finished in 43.02 and was third under-19 with Gayton coming home in a time of 55.13. Both were accompanied on the course by their dads, with Rob Gosnell finishing in 52.03 and Neil Gayton timing 51.28.
Junior races were also held – the outlaw mini and the future outlaw.
On the outlaw mini 1.2 miles, James Watts won for the second year running in a personal best of 6.09.
William Ward ran a big personal best to finish in 7.19. Jacob Green also had a fantastic run with a huge personal best of 8.05. Jess Watts was second girl in 7.47, another personal best.
Abe Gosnell was accompanied by Rhys Howard and they finished in 10.28, making it a clean sweep of PBs for the mini outlaws.
In the longer future outlaw, Aidan Howard finished third with 15.57.
