BD5 Beat the Pud WRC Results

27 December 2016 - By Anita Grainger

On a Beautiful sunny Boxing Day WRC put on its annual BD5 event. This year ‘Beat the Pud’ & social media publicity attracted a record number of 480 entrants which is fantastic. Early shift WRC volunteers arrived at 8am to start the day off and set up, followed by the army of WRC volunteers at various times with race entrants starting to arrive from 9.30 onwards, all ready for the 11am start.

After various duties 27 WRC members & family took part including our very own ‘pud’ Heydon, who by all accounts, had great fun starting the race with the leaders and giving them all a little scare by running with them for the first few hundred metres and then slipping back to let more of the field beat him. Conditions were great apart from the slight headwind on the road out of Witham, however, this was compensated by slight wind ‘assistance’ on the final 2 miles back into Witham.

Scott Darney was our first man home in 30.37, Becky Grimwood our first lady in 45.06 and Alex Waring our first junior in 38.10 full results below.

Well done all & to all the volunteers who Alex has already thanked in a separate post. There have been some lovely comments and thank yous on Facebook. I know lots of participants had an enjoyable experience resulting in a few potential new members… Go team WRC!

Some of us had fun running the course today for the BD5+1 annual run in cold sunny conditions with no wind at all. This time nobody beat the pub as Heydon whizzed off leaving the rest of us marvelling in wonder, although we were able to see him in the distance across the fields!
