Evesham 10k Results
Some excellent performances at Evesham, with Robert picking up another prize, Kate winning her category, and Denise winning an orchid, even if on closer inspection this appears to have been for 4th V35 lady. In fact, Denise started after Mark, finished in front of him, so we’re wondering how her time was 3 seconds slower.
A number of PBs, some of which I’ve categorised as ‘big’. No jokers that I know of, so let me know if you played yours.
Gemma, in addition to her big PB, also won the wine, and her report follows the results.

“Fantastic, terrible, PB, worst 10k ever” These are a few of the comments being banded about after the Evesham 10k, a club championship race on Sunday 11th July. It was a fantastic club turnout for this relatively new but very well organised 10K (although I am slightly biased as this is my parent’s running club!). A few of our faster members got a mention at the beginning of the race, so with no pressure, a sea of blue shirts crossed the start line on Evesham High Street. The race itself is undulating with twists and turns around the town. It has a great mix of road through the town, trail along the river and paths through the park. There is vocal support along most of the course and in particular at the finish. On the day in question, the weather was HOT. This seemed to either be a help or a hindrance as the variety in peoples finishing feelings demonstrated. Robert Storey was obviously having a great race as he came in 3rd overall. Our men’s team also won 1st prize in the team event and from a personal point of view, with a new 10k pb under my belt, I was having a pretty good day too!
