10k in the woods a run away success for Bourne Rotary

If you went down to the woods on Sunday morning you would have been surprised by the runners in the annual Bourne Run in the Woods event.

Organised by the Rotary Club of Bourne, our parent company The Larkfleet Group of Companies was again delighted to be one of the event’s sponsors.

The Run in the Woods is an established highlight of the local sporting calendar. It is a popular and very competitive 10k run with a record time of 34.18 minutes.

This year’s race was won by 19-year-old Bourne Town Harriers runner Scott Taylor in a time of 36.51. John Herbert finished in 2nd place and Stamford Strider Jonathan Taylor finished in 3rd.

The winner of the ladies’ race was Katie Arnold of Stamford Striders in 43.07. Joanne Mark of Colchester Harriers was in 2nd spot and 3rd place went to Sally Hart.

The organisers told us: “It was a very successful event which we hope will continue in future years. We do acknowledge the importance of the support which we receive from local sponsors such as The Larkfleet Group, without whom the charitable work which we in Rotary carry out would not be possible”.

Congratulations and well done to all the runners and organisers. We hope you can do it all again next year!
