Worcestershire Midweek Series – Race 2
Arrow Valley 12km Multi Terrain
Wed 8 June 2016
Thanks to a downpour all afternoon the conditions underfoot for this hilly, 2 lap off-road 12km course along the bridleways in the Arrow Valley Park were particularly ‘challenging’.
147 Runners lined up for this year’s race, including 24 from Bromsgrove & Redditch AC.
Leading from the start Droitwich AC athlete Paul Little won the race in an impressive 46.40, with Molly Browne from BRAT finishing in seventh place to be the first lady in 49.25.
