The HY OCR team travelled to Marston Trussell to compete in Spartan Midlands Super, the final race in the Spartan series, a 10k off-road run with 25 obstacles.

First off were Barry Buchanan and Chris Shipley in the extremely competitive elite men's race. For Barry 3rd place slipped away after he missed the dreaded spear throw, finishing 9th, with Chris in 11th.

Jason Wright, a year after having a hip replacement, competed in the men's age group race securing 3rd on the podium – an amazing achievement and testament to his hard work and dedication to recover from his surgery.

Sophie McGoldrick has been competing in the female 40-44 age group series and this was the final race.

After wins over the half marathon distance at Henley and Wales, she won her age group again and won the series by some margin.

Sophie said: "I've come such a long way since I started obstacle racing just over a year ago. I'm grateful for the support of my fantastic team-mates and Terry Skelton for his coaching. I'm chuffed to bits with this achievement. I get my head down and train hard and it has paid off."

The in-form HY OCR team have earned a place at the Spartan European Championships at Pippingford Park in October.
