Wellington Winter Wobble 10K 2020

Wellington running club put on a socially distanced timed running event on Wednesday 30^th of December. The weather gods were on our side with a break in the rain allowed for a dry but bitterly cold day  Sixty runners from different running clubs in the area were started in groups of six people at one-minute intervals to insure everyone was kept apart and safe. The runners faced a very hilly route around the country lanes of Wellington. Most heard comment at the finish “how can you have that many hills in just six miles”. The route started in the playing field area of the park and headed out to Langford Budville, then to Holywell lake and retuning back via Westford and the Basons First gent home was Dean Bennett in a incredible time of 41:19. First lady home was Joanne Carritt in an equally impressive time of 47:18. Well done to them both. All runners were rewarded for the efforts by collecting pre-packed goodie bags containing the all-important medal, a mince pie, sweets and water. None of the normal hugs and high fives but plenty of smiles. All said it was tremendous way to finish what we all know to be one of the strangest years of our lives. Event organiser Chris Poole would like to thank all that took part and the all-important marshals for help on the day. It is hope the event will return again next year when we can open the entry to larger numbers plus a ten mile race. Results.
