Hundreds of runners took to the streets of Wymondham last month for the annual 20-mile road race.

A regular fixture on the local race scene, the event saw 517 runners take on a two-lap route on the country roads around the town.

Organised by Wymondham Athletics Club and sponsored by Electric 11, this year’s event was won by Martyn Bath, of Norwich Roadrunners, and Dawn Robinson of Ryston Runners.

Runners set off from Market Cross before heading out of town, through Morley and Deopham and finishing back at Lady’s Lane.

It was the 37th running of the popular event, the only 20-mile road race in Norfolk and part of the Sportlink GP Series.

James Heaney, Race Director for Wymondham Athletics Club, said: “It was another sell-out race this year with a really competitive field.

“We had the perfect conditions this year, with beautiful spring sunshine and a gentle breeze, making for a great race. We always want our events to bring the best of the local running scene, celebrating the competitive and social side of running, with runners of all abilities welcome.

“We’re really grateful to local residents for their support and want to thank Electric 11 for sponsoring the event, as well as Simply Roasted Crisps and Waitrose, who provided our finish line snacks.”

Runners competing in the event were able to enjoy refreshments back at Abbey Hall after the race, with all proceeds being donated to Star Throwers, Wymondham Athletics Club’s charity of the year.
