KEEN RUNNERS returned to Wargrave for their 10k event and fun run last weekend after a three-year hiatus.

The kids fun race opened up the day, starting at 9.15am where all participants received finisher medals and chocolate for competing.

The 10k event then kicked off at 10am at Wargrave Recreation Ground before runners tackled the course through the country lanes to Crazies Hill and then concluded at the recreation ground once again.

The top three was made up of Reading AC member Dan Thorne who took second place with 33 minutes, 41 seconds while Matthew Davenport was in third with 35 minutes, 56 seconds.

Maidenhead AC runner Kirsty Matthews was the fastest female finisher with a time of 43 minutes, 37 seconds.

Wargrave & Twyford member Faye Christina Bartlett was the second fastest female with 44 minutes, three seconds and in third was Vicky Bosley Fairbrother with 44 minutes, 52 seconds.

Ellie Gosling from Barnes Fitness, who organised the race said: “It was great to see the Wargrave 10k and kids fun run back on the running events calendar.

“We had more than 300 runners take part in the event on a very hot morning. The runners were very grateful to residents who lined the route with their hose pipes as sprinklers.

“The race was officially started by one of the first members, Doris Eggett, who at 97 is yet to miss a Wargrave 10k. It was a very special moment for the event.”
