SAC Race Round-Up - 13/4/12

Steve Turk, Steve Waters and Chris Wakeman competed in the "Hanchurch Hilly", an approx 5 mile off road race around woodland tracks and hills in Hanchurch Woods near Newcastle-Under-Lyme. This race is the first of 3 challenging trail races that make up "The Spring Treble Series", a popular series hosted by Stone Master Marathoners on consecutive Thursday evenings. Steve Turk, the only Shrewsbury runner to enter the series led the trio home with a 10th place finish in 32.34 and looks well placed in the V40 category - 2nd on the night. Turk was pushed all the way to the line by Steve Waters, 11th in 32.36 and Chris Wakeman had a solid run in 35th, 36.30.


Other results to report from earlier in the month include Steve Turk finishing 3rd in the Mynd Mac fell race and Steve Waters, 50th in 30.31 in the Chester Spring 5 mile road race. With the lighter evenings upon us the races now come thick and fast with good club turnouts expected at the Lilleshall 5 on 18th April and/or the Wrekin Streak the following week.
