Cancer Research 10K – A Big Success at Ashton Court, Bristol 2009

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Runners attending Bristol’s 3rd Cancer Research 10K, held at Ashton Court are well deserving of a Congratulations as they ran through one of September’s hottest days, across a challenging course including some pretty harsh inclines throughout the race.

The 10K kicked off at 11am and over 1000 entrants made their way up the first of many hills on the course which meandered through the Ashton Court Estate.

Definitely one of the more challenging 10K courses out there, Ashton Court has a number of hills and sharp bends and the midday sun was definitely not working in the runners’ favour.

The Leggit team were there in full force cheering on the participants (and wherever possible trying to drownout the idiotic commentry coming from the local radio presenters who were broadcasting from the finish line!)

All in all, a fantastic Race and certainly a great achievement for all of those who completed it! Leggit will be supporting the Cancer Research 10K events taking place throughout 2010 so keep your eyes peeled for information on next years dates!
