Winchester 10 km

The superb Winchester 10 km celebrated its 40th anniversary on Sunday 19th Feb. The undulating 1-lap course starts outside the Winchester Guildhall by the King Alfred statue. It proceeds out of the city centre and through the villages of Kingsworthy and Headbourne Worthy before heading back towards Winchester and finishing at the North Walls Recreation Centre.

Facing the early start of 08:30, Cliff Marriott took part in the race and finished in 54:23. It was a good race and was highly recommended.
