Race Date: Sunday 23rd August 2015

The inaugural (?) Mansfield 10k took place on Sunday 23rd August and attracted a field of 587 runners including at least 4 Striders (let me know if I’ve missed you off but they weren’t very good at putting clubs on the results). Rather pricey EOD at £25 might have put a few people off running this. Unfortunately there also seems to be a dispute regarding the actual length of the course as it was coming in slightly short on Strava.

Anyway their website states,

Starting from Titchfield Park, looping and winding through the historic, traffic free streets of Mansfield with a sprint finish into the beautiful market place. Whether you are a seasoned pro or new to running this event will reflect the qualities of Mansfield: Resilient. Proud. Friendly. The compact nature of this race will encourage spectators at every step of the way. Reach beyond expectation and sign up for a day to remember

The race was won by Mark Johnson of Mansfield Harriers in 32.09. First woman was Emily Collinge (unattached) in 34.04.
