THE third race in this year’s Cornwall Grand Prix Race Series – The Looe 10 Miler – was held on Sunday, March 2.

Despite being known for it’s difficult route which is notoriously hilly, over 500 runners finished the race, which was organised by Looe Pioneers, and was eventually won by Truro Running Club’s Steve Reynolds in a time of 58:53.

Reynolds was the only person to finish inside an hour with Lloyd Milbourn and Mark Budge second and third respectively.

The first female to cross the line was Newquay Road Runners’ Rose Harvie in a time of 1:15:31.

East Cornwall Harriers’ Susie Hooke was the second lady over the line in 1:19:59, one minute and 17 seconds clear of Newquay Road Runners’ Grace Barratt.
