The beautiful setting of Grasmere was this weeks run location. Rolling hills, beautiful lakeside paths and a warm welcome at the finish.
The team at Wild Deer returned for one of their most popular venues with it’s wonderful routes through this amazing landscape. With 5 k and 10 k options to suit runners of all abilities there was a fantastic turn out. In fact if you’re considering this run next year you probably need to get in early as it will surely sell out again.
Oliver Davenport completed the 10 k route in an impressive 40 mins and 18 secs while Dan Lanes ran a brisk 19 mins and 51 secs for the 5 k. The ladies also completed the courses in impressive times with Hannah Mohn completing the 5 k in 23 min and 53 sec and Sarah Tunstal completing the 10 k in 44 min and 12 sec.
The sports field in Grasmere was the location for the Start Finish and also the chance to try some new Inov8 Trainers for the run. Voom Nutrition were also on hand at the Start Finish with samples of the running bars and other nutrition supplies were available.
Weather was quite literally four seasons in one day, in 20 mins at one point but mainly the sun shone and did it’s best to keep runners and supporters alike warm and happy.
Wild Deer have lots of different events on this year, everything from 5k runs to full 140.6 distance Triathlons, you can find details on their site WILD DEER EVENTS
