The flat ten-mile course is well-known for catching runners out with a fearsome headwind in the last couple of miles.

An attractive course, leading off through the Historic Dockyard, saw a total of 38 Tone Zone runners and an astounding 27 PBs – proving that training as part of a club really does help with speed.
