Moulton 10K Report


Northampton Road Runners Moulton 10k Sun 25th Aug

260 runners descended on Moulton for Northampton Road Runners 2013 Moulton 10k on Sun Aug 25th.

The field included runners from as far apart as Scotland and Devon. Ideal conditions failed to make this race which is possibly the toughest 10k course in this area any easier and all of the runners knew that they had been in a hard race.

Only 9 seconds separated the 1st 3 runners to finish with Northampton based MKAC runner Matt Clarke winning in 35-10 only just ahead of Wootton Road Runners Matthew Howes and Dan Siddons from Serpentine, London.

Local star Rachel Cave was 1st lady home in 39-21 followed by Cambridge runner Katie Sherwood and host club Northampton Road Runners star junior Rosanna Andrews.

It was good to see the best number of junior (15-19) athletes competing we have ever had and Matt Tyler of Team Balancise and Jade Watson from Peterborough collected the trophies in this category.

Rushden based Team Balancise won the Team Award and Glenn Morris won the award for the 1st resident of Moulton or Pitsford, the villages through which the race runs.

These events however are not just about the trophy winners and throughout the field runners of all ages and abilities were breaking PBs, setting goals and giving their all helping to make the event another great success.
