Race 5 in the Telford Sexarathon Series saw 12 SAC runners venture East to compete in the 5k race with a reputation for fast times, no doubt some PB's were expected.
Competitors found that this years route had been changed slightly from previous seasons, the final distance was measured at around 5.39k this naturally affected the finish times. Despite our runners putting their all into the race in pursuit of the PB, all found their times were on average 90seconds down, a massive disappointment shared by everyone.
Local favourite Chris Davies (TAC) took the honours edging out Tom Humphries (Cannock & Stafford AC) by 10seconds.
Steve France edged out Dom Kirby on the line as the first 2 SAC runners finished in 19m 21secs. Following up was Steve Hatton in 19m 42s, with another Steve (Waters) 10seconds further back.
Nick Jones again raced strongly after working with Grant Lloyd for the early stages, Jones finishing in 20m 44s with Lloyd back in 21m 08s.
