Weston Athletic Club members tackled a new Tough 10 route.

A NEW Tough 10 route awaited over 800 runners, taking them from Weston beach to Sand Point, before returning through Weston woods and back into Weston.

The weather was perfect for running, last year’s high winds prevented the race from going ahead.

With 24 club ladies competing in the event, Jules Pflaum took first place in 1.19.51. There was only five seconds between the second and third club females - Michelle Fryer in 1.22.49 and Nicola Fulstow in 1.22.54.

Six members travelled to Street to run in the competitive Wells City Harriers 5k .Guy Bradford brought the club colours home first in 18.49 and 15th overall. Steve Kibblewhite was second in 19.27, followed by V60 club runner John Hinchliffe in an impressive 22.03.

Michelle Fryer ran well to take first club female spot in 21.35. Nia Davies and Steph Shute were second and third in 22.14 and 24.44 respectively.
