Rothwell 10k - Monday 4th May - Report by Frank

The Rothwell 10km road race was held on Monday 4th May in cold and damp conditions; ideal for racing! Anthony Bradford lead the six Spen male runners home in 28th place in a time of 34 mins 29 secs. Eight days after a strong London Marathon race Kevin Ogden stretched his recovering legs to finish 38th in 35m 07s. The rest of us still had a mile or more to go by the time these lads finished. Steve Peacock was next in 220th place and a time of 41m 50s followed by Frank Reddington 267th 43m 07s, Mick Howard 272nd 43m 13s and Peter Scanlon 605th 53m 16s.
