Brown Clee Burners The 21k, half marathon, had four members running over a very tough course with the distance turning out to be in excess of fourteen miles! Out of a total field of 57 competitors Ed Beards came in 21st with a time of 1 hour 59 minutes 28 seconds followed by Scott Mathers in 30th place in 2.10.04. Colin Noble achieved a result in 43rd position of 2.21.36 and finally Jason Matthews in 3.02.15.
Many of the members came away happy with a trophy for winning age category positions and a good afternoon was had by all despite the races being of a higher standard than expected before the start.
The next day, Sunday 28 September, saw four members who could not get enough the previous day take on the 10k multi terrain Brown Clee Burn from Stoke St. Milborough Village Hall. William Laye in 48 minutes was 4th while Scott Mathers easily beat Andrew Davies who came in a few seconds over the hour and Dave Prescott not far behind. At the time of writing the full results have still to be published. The field was approximately 50 runners. This event was held in glorious sunshine, going out along the lane before turning off up The Shropshire Way to the top of Clee Burf and down the track to Nordy Bank with far reaching stunning views over the county towards Long Mynd before back along another lane through Stoke Gorse and back to the village hall where a bacon and egg bap awaited all finishers together with cups of tea. A very well organised race with plenty of marshals and water enroute. For the efforts all finishers also received a Brown Clee Burn certificate!
