🏁 The Sportlink Grand Prix Series signed off in style at the Bure Valley 10M yesterday.

Norwich Road Runners’ Martyn Bath took the win in a PB of 53:32, his second GP Series victory of the year.

“I had a nice group for four miles and then I tried to kick on… the last two miles really hurt,” he admitted after his win.

In the women’s race, Mabel Beckett (CoNAC) continued her superb season with victory in 59:40, saying: “I found mile nine really hard, but other than that I felt quite good and really enjoyed it.”

👏 Huge well done to everyone who took on the scenic but testing 10-mile route, and thanks to Bure Valley Harriers for hosting a fantastic finale.
