Nash & Boraston Dash is a 10K smash!
Participants treated to superb views of the countryside at this challenging and tasty road race in rural Shropshire.
The community was literally in action at last Sunday’s (27 November) Nash & Boraston 10K as runners took on a tough race whilst helping two local churches. They got their teeth into the course (and that final hill!) then again at the post-race refreshments...
Soup, cakes and sausage rolls were waiting for finishers at the Nash & Boraston 10K Dash after winding their way up and down this hilly route in a beautiful part of the country. Possibly not a race for a PB; however, a good event to round off the season and reward yourself with a treat or two.
Nearly 100 runners rose to the occasion on a damp, overcast morning, setting off from Nash church at 11am and onwards through Nash and neighbouring Boraston. This is the perfect place if you like a climb especially as the race is at the bottom of Clee Hill and includes a ford crossing for extra interest.
It was one-two again for Croft Ambrey RC with Eric Apperley first home in 36:30 followed by teammate Aidan Yapp in 36:52. Ryan Knight of Hereford Couriers RC was third in 37:19.
(Eric Apperley improved on his runner up place in last year’s race where he finished in 39:26).
Kate Jones of Builth & District RC was the first woman home in 47:31. Joanne Watson of Cleobury Mortimer RC finished second in 49:56 and Abi Knight of Hereford Couriers RC third in 51:33.
The last runner crossed the line in 1:27:30. There were 89 finishers who received a medal for their endeavours.
All the results are available via the runABC Midlands Race Listings.
This was a well organised, marshalled and catered event to satisfy every type of runner whatever their appetite – for hills as well as cake.
