Whilst thousands were pounding the streets of London, a group of Phoenix runners were enjoying the  Angmering Estate in West Sussex for the annual Angmering Bluebell 10k trial run, which this year also included a 10mile trial run.

As the race title suggests the race is very scenic, run mainly of road with a mixture of open countryside and woods paved in bluebells. The spectators however were probably more aware of the stunning scenery as the race conditions were hard, the hilly twisting course being made more challenging by a week of rain making large sections very muddy and slippery. In fact it was probably muddier than any of this year’s cross country courses!

In the 10k race James Atkinson finished third male, with Darren Elliot running only a week after the Brighton Marathon finishing a very credible 12^th. In the 10 mile race Bruce Warren was third male and Catherine Bounds third female, with Bruce also taking first place in the Supervet category.

A hugely successful day for Phoenix athletes with representation at all levels.

U13 boys took gold with a fine individual course record by Archie Davis. U15 boys took bronze with Billy White storming to an individual course record. The story was repeated with the senior men taking gold and bronze medals. The A team set a fantastic course record with Ben Tickner lowering the individual record by a huge margin. The medals continued for the men with O50s taking bronze and O60s taking silver.

No medals for the female athletes but some fine performances non-the less with all age groups represented (even if the vet women raced in the wrong category!).
