virtual Trentham 10k –
Race update
Event number 4 in our virtual series Trentham 10k saw close to 100 NSRRA members taking part in pretty decent running conditions. It’s interesting to see what day our runners choose to complete the event.
First home were Ross Connor of City Of Stoke and Kelly Butler of Birchfield Harriers.
We have 3 events in August with no elevation required so a little less planning required.

This can be dangerous as you cannot hear marshalls instructions. With most courses not closed to traffic you need to hear what is going on around you.
You also risk disqualification as some races operate this policy.
