The second lady to finish was Lisa Hale, of Sandhurst Joggers.

It was a cold morning and the course is a challenging one with muddy sections.

But it is flat and a good run for fast times.

This event always provides a good start to the year for many who will be taking on Believe & Achieve events in 2018.
