ONE thousand and seven hundred men and women strode gamely out across some seriously muddy fields for this year’s Sodbury Slog on Sunday (November 12).

Setting off from Chipping Sodbury School following a two-minute silence to mark Remembrance Sunday at 11am, the runners ran down the High Street as onlookers and family members cheered their progress.

This year’s fastest runner was Phil Radford, of Bristol and West AC, who completed the course in just one hour, two minutes.

Started in 1990, the Sodbury Slog is organised by Bitton Road Runners and has won several titles including the second best UK race in 2006/07.
