Roberts is first in category at Dash

The Caythorpe Dash 10k was a signed and part-marshaled, multi-terrain run through the picturesque Lincolnshire countryside, taking in tracks, bridle paths, footpaths, minor roads and an disused railway line along the Lincolnshire Ridge; and had climbs and descents of 100m in all.

To meet COVID requirements, including entry numbers and social distancing regulations, the race was staged with staggered 10 min start times for tranches of 10 competitors.

This left entrants competing against the clock using chipped timing bibs.

Steven had a very strong run indeed and a time of 46 minutes saw him finish in 15th place overall whilst taking first place in his age category.

Steve reported perfect running conditions and the event felt very safe.

He was thrilled to achieve first place in his age group.

On completion of their run competitors got a free drink and biscuit from the café window, and then remained socially distanced on the playing field until their departure – keeping clear of those who were checking-in before making their way home.
