Second Round of Dirt Run Race Series

Rugby Triathlon Club once again performed well at the second and final round of the Wellingborough Multi-Terrain race series on Sunday (February 5) at Irchester Country Park.

The recent warmer weather and rain created a far muddier course for all those running, but didn’t stop Jane Hurt picking up her second podium finish of the series when she finished as ladies’ runner-up, and age group winner, in the 15K race with a time of 1:10:17.

The club was well represented across all three distances with Greg Ashley finishing the men’s 15K race in a time of 1:04:27, Garry Haynes running the Men’s 10K race in a time of 46:34, Bev Graham-Older finishing the women’s 10K race in 56:38 and Alison Ashley running the women’s 5K race in 27:12.

The Wellingborough Multi-Terrain two part race series takes place on the varied terrain of Irchester Country Park, with organisers providing a choice of three distances, 15K, 10K or 5K.

Round 1 took place on January 22 and round 2 on February 5, 2017.
