Beat the Bore Friday 26th May 2017
From Paul Jefferson A beautiful sunset started the latest Beat The Bore at 8:50pm, with cooler conditions than earlier in the day. The race is 3 miles over the top of a lump before a flat out run for the remaining 5 miles along the Severn, with the bore chasing behind. The dry weather had left the surface rock hard and rutted which was tough on the ankles. Greg Chance (it’s that man again!) went off quickly and held the lead for the majority of the race before finally relenting (50.22). Paul (51.08) and Andy Malloy (52.28) were third and fifth (with Tim Ginns, Southville, fourth) and pretty much stayed that way until the finish. The Bore came quickly this year and just 34 runners out of 110 Beat the Bore with Bristol & West prominent in the top 5.
