Newport runners warm to challenge
Newport & District Running Club members battled the heat and a testing course in the Gnosall 10k.
- if any race is hard enough without extreme temperatures thrown in, this is it. In fact, this race used to have a 2pm start time, and the June date made for punishing conditions when the sun came out. Even now, with a 10:30am start, the race isn’t for the faint-hearted.
Despite the name, the race isn’t actually 10k. Any runner who takes part unaware of this faces a further 1.2km of running after the point they think their experience will end.
