Dual win for Bristol & West runners in Bradley Stoke 10k

A field of 551 starters contested today’s Bradley Stoke 10k Run, organised by Sole Sisters, on the final day of the 2014 Bradley Stoke Community Festival.

First home after completing the six-and-a-quarter mile course that takes in the Three Brooks Local Nature Reserve, Bradley Stoke Way and Brook Way was Matthew Krelle (Bristol & West AC) in a time of 34:45. Second place went to last year’s winner Andrew Cooke (Bristol & West AC) in 35:35, with Martin Bartlett third in 36:46.

The women’s race was won by Jessie Sanzo (Bristol & West AC) in an impressive time of 36:24 (third place overall), well ahead of Jemma Faulkner (43:11) with Liz Sanigar (Bristol & West AC, 43:37) third. Jessie’s time was more than three minutes faster than when she won the race back in 2011.

The prizes for the first Bradley Stoke residents were awarded to Simon Ward (38:16) and Shirley Lillicrap (49:12).
