Race Report - Fradley 10k

Wakey Wakey legs...its road race time! 

Fradley is not really a very well known 10km, however it should be as it is a pretty quick, slightly undulating course. This year saw it being started by two ambassadors of the Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust,  twins Helen and Carol Galashan did the honors, professionals in Diving and Gymnastics. For information on what the Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust Fund does and what it supports and funds go to www.dkhlegacytrust.org


Organised by KP events, and apart from the eternal problem of not enough port-a-loos at running races (im sure this is something which subscribes to the n+1=perfect amount of loos equation) it was fairly snag free. Car parking could have been managed a bit better, but the marshaling and support was great. There were LOADS of spectators in the village which was really nice to see.

Sponsored by Florette (not really sure why?) I was a little disappointed there were not free lettuces' post race, however it is probably for the best as it was a pretty hot day. Amazing for March in fact, and a scorching 14 degrees! It makes it hard to dislike anything about it! 

Post race I had some much needed love applied to my calfs' by Lichfields sports medicine partners, and extremely reasonable £5.00 and lots of good information available, including a leaflet to take away with good stretching techniques.
