Unofficial Result

Tom Brassington 55.45


The Saffron Walden 10k is 90% off road for those who like the farm tracks and field headlands for running.  The run starts from the playing fields in Newport village, facing a 1 mile steady uphill on a flinty farm track.  It’s an unusually warm September morning so a hard climb to the top, and then turns for a ‘there and back’ section to the edge of the next village.  At half way its following a field edge section, single line but at this stage very little overtaking, or being overtaken.  Into the edge of another village before turning to another farm track, quite a steep climb and back to Newport.  You pass the finish line at 9k!  and then it’s a last 1k around the sport field to the finish.  Its one for the off roaders, very friendly, and the ladies do an extremely impressive array of cakes to indulge with a cup of tea
