After a two year hiatus, Burton 10k returned; the weather could not have been any different from the 2019 race, which ended in a torrential downpour! This was another BDSL event and although we did not have enough runners to field a full team, those who did pull on their LRC vests did the club proud.

Joe Goodwin finished in in 17th place, in 39.02, taking home the prize for his age group. Owen Davies followed in 44.42 (47th) and Marian Lowther, sole female club representative, came home in 1.05.41.

There were good performances from LRC members Dan Floyd (6th, 36.01) and Matt Orford (19th, 39.15), both running for their first claim clubs on this occasion. Matt had been intending to run the race at marathon pace, but like many others, was affected by the heat.

Well done to all our runners; hopefully we will enjoy some cooler conditions this week
