Red and White
Taunton 10k was awash with Red and White running tops from 50 members of running Forever RC, this was a really good turnout supporting a really popular local event. Many other members were dotted along the course offering words of encouragement and in some cases sweets.
The first male back was Rob Gittoes in 38:43, second male was Ali Bisatt in 43:23 and third male was John Townend in 45:21. The first female was Sarah Capstick in 45:58, second female was Heather Macklin in 46:50 and third female was Vicky Hanna in 47:44.
There was also some success with Vicky Hanna, Sarah Capstick and Rob Gittoes all picking trophies for wins within their respective age categories.
Last weekend also saw the Conquest of Avalon taking place with 4 members tackling the 30-mile race which starts in Castle Cary and finishes in Glastonbury. Again, this was well supported with several members running aid stations to help facilitate the safe running of the event.
This Sunday is the Cardiff Half Marathon and again a large contingent of the club will be there to participate in one of the biggest half marathons in the UK
