THE Bristol Half Marathon had a strong turn out from Dursley Running Club with six running the popular event.

Latest new member Mike Crompton showed strong form to finish comfortably under 85 minutes.

Behind him the old stagers Haydn Smith, a late substitute, and Dave Saunders were next to finish. Smith paced Saunders around the course to a personal best and fifth place in the V65 category, an excellent result given the quality of the field.

Neil Truelove also paced his race well and was rewarded with a finish just over the hour, which he was very satisfied with.

Shona Darley was Dursley’s only woman in just over two hours.

Behind her Dave and Liz Halford ran the event in fancy dress, a finish of just under 130 minutes very creditable when dressed as Batman and Catwoman.
