18/04/10 Grantham Cup 10k Race Report

As promised!

Yet again another beautiful day for a race!

This was the first running of the Grantham Cup 10k and was staged at Belton estate which is a national trust property and a very fine house well worth a visit!

The race is on the same weekend as the Belton international horse trials entry to the horse trials included in the race fee, so well worth it as me, my mother & brother all got in for free!

The route was all off road in the deer park and on some of the horse trials course! There was one really, really steep hill which was impossible to run all the way up but at the top you then know you are going dowe at some point! There was also an optional water jump which I declined as I did not have a spare pair of trainers!

All in all a fun race, not the quickest but great value and a definite for next year!
