Report
I was the only Serpie running Stroud this year down from 6 in last years race. It was a crisp clear day at the start of the race and it only warmed up 2 or 3 degrees throughout the duration, making it ideal conditions for running. The circular course is slightly undulating with only a couple of small hills so it is quite a good race for attacking your PB which I managed to do by bettering my own best time by 7 minutes over my time on the Bird Rock Half Marathon in May and knocking 19 minutes off my time for the same race last year. Organisation by the Stroud & District AC was as good as it was last year and the course is quite pretty except for a short stint along the A38 and a brief but unfortunate loop around an industrial estate near the end of the race. The winner was Williard Chinhanhu from Poole Runners who finished in 01:06:51. Overall a highly recommended race, I'll be back next year.
