Several Bedford & County athletes ran in the Valencia 10K on Sunday.

The stand-out performance was Ben Alcock’s fantastic club record – although his gun time shows 28:38, his chip time (thus his true time) was even quicker at 28:34.

Behind him, there were other excellent performances by club athletes. Sam Winters’ 30:39 shaved 3 seconds off his pb, whilst Alf Yabsley took over a minute off his previous best with 31:05. There were also excellent runs from Stan Willis (32:02) and Pete Benedickter (32:25) – both of which were highly commendable efforts given that they are just easing their way back into full training after long spells out thought injury and illness respectively. Ed Whiting (33:03 - PB) and Lauren Nichols (34:59) also put in strong performances. Alice Lambert is in fine form, running extremely well to achieve an outstanding PB of 35:17, following her PB of 17:03 at the Battersea 5K on New Years Eve. 

Well done to everyone that ran.
