RACE number six of the Cornwall Glass Grand Prix Series last Sunday (May 21) was set on the headlands between Crantock and Holywell.
The race, which attracted 339 runners, was won by Sam Goodchild in 36.15 and first female was Emma Paull in 40:28, both impressive times considering the hot conditions.
The multi-terrain event is a coastal course which starts and finishes at Trevornick Holiday Park in Holywell Bay.
Another hot race but for a gentle sea breeze hosted by Newquay Road Runners was again received very well by all travelling athletes.
The Road Runners had a strong presence at the race with Jamie Edwards coming in as first Road Runner in 39:11 in 14th position, followed by Newquay’s first female, Leigh Spencer, in a time of 49:42. It proved to be a great day for the army of volunteers who marshalled the race on behalf of the club as they got to enjoy the views and the weather.
