Severn Athletic Club’s Steve Kenyon was the first Gloucestershire runner home in yesterday’s hugely successful Cirencester 10K.

The 40-year-old finished third in 35 minutes, 12 seconds in a race that was won by the RAF's Harry Barnes (33.41). Jesse Bryant of Swindon Harriers was second in 35.06.

Unattached runner Charlie Garwood was fourth, a second behind Kenyon, who said: “I managed to hold him off, I was quite happy with that.

“It was a great finish through the centre of the town, the weather was good and there were a lot of people out supporting the runners.

“It was a really good event, I’d do it again.”

More than 870 runners finished and Kenyon continued: “It was a surprisingly challenging course, very hilly and undulating.”

Kenyon used the race as part of his build-up to this year’s London Marathon on Sunday 26^th April.

He ran two hours, 43 minutes in London last year and is targeting a sub two hours, 40 time this year. His PB for the distance is two hours, 38 set in Manchester a couple of years ago.
