2007 Great East Run
With the weather forecast good in the lead up to the 2007 GREAT EAST RUN
there was a good entry in the days just before the weekend. The final total
of 630 entrants was a record for the 20Km event.
The weather on the day, cool and still was ideal for long distance running.
In the start area there were runners of all abilities and from far and wide.
The easy down hill start was soon to change, and before the first 1Km was
completed, the gradient turned into a spiteful 1Km climb. At the top of the
hill, David Miller of Woodbridge Shufflers, held a narrow lead. He was
never to lose this lead. It did, however take him 10Km of determined running
before he had seen off the challenges of the City of Norwich runners.
Some of the runners from the more hilly areas of Britain were surprised at
how tough the course was. One Welsh man was heard to say,” I never expected
any thing as difficult as this. That hill at 19Km is evil”. Unsurprisingly,
it was the local runners that dominated the category prizes.
In the ladies categorise it was a runner from Derbyshire that came out on
top. Helen Cawthorne from Redhill Runners finished the race in first place
one and a half minutes ahead of Norwich Road Runners Anne Flanagan.
Many of the runners were very complementary about the event. They found
the standard of the facilities and marshals very good.
There were
particular positive comments about the very good value of the event.
The Goodie Bag sponsored by B 1st Sports shop of Beccles was said by some
runners to be the best ever received any where. The beer supplied by
sponsors Elgoods Brewery was a well received souvenir. The quality of the
engraved medal was noted by many as was caterers John Grooms free soup.
All runners spoken to said they would be back next year. One Royston runner
commented that he raced all over the country and Europe, but he rated this
event the best organised that he had been to."
