Preston Park Trail Race

Tees Trail Races - Race 4 - Preston Park 23/06/11

P1490450P1490692

The 4th race of the series took place at Preston Park, with two laps of the park totaling just over 5.2 km.  A torrential rain shower just before the race made the course more like a cross county race than a trail race in places with some runners struggling with the wrong footwear.  Rob Ray (pictured) tried, unsuccessfully, to stay incognito in his return to racing. 

Mike Jefferies managed to hold off Rosie Smith to claim the race. Kath Aspin was 2nd lady beating Louise Trainor by 4 seconds.

Shelli Gordon, warming up for the Hardmoors 110 in a couple of weeks, came an impressive second behind Scottish International Cross Country Runner Rosie Smith in the 2nd 5K Trail Race of the series at the Middlesbrough Cycle Track.   An interesting course started and finished with a 1K circuit of the new Cycle Track with a run around a cricket match in the middle.  Dave Aspin was the first New Marske man back in 17:53.  More details and full results on the Tees Trail Website.
