This 10K, in its second year, is a tribute and a memorial to Harrier Pete Shields who died early in 2020. Pete was a gifted runner himself and an outstanding coach, who had guided runners from far and wide, also leading training sessions for athletes at club, national and international levels over many years. He was exceptional at getting the best out of all runners, but especially skillful in encouraging those young enthusiastic runners who are the lifeblood of the sport.
Over this fast, flat, out and back two lap course it's a great opportunity to come and run a new PB, or even set a course record as the course has been changed slightly from last year to improve the finish. But the style of the course with minimal climbing, means it is also a good opportunity for those less experienced wanting to tackle a 10k for the first time to give it a go.
