2007

Sunday 4th November 2007 - Race Start: 11.00 AM

Final Race in the 2007 Gloucestershire County Road Race Championship

2007's Guy Fawkes 5 was even more bumper than the previous years. A new record number of pre-entries laid the foundations for a successful day for race organizer Pete Foster.
It was a foggy morning in Tewkesbury but, there was little foggy about events in Walton Cardiff Lane. This is where nearly 400 athletes of all shapes and sizes eagerly waited for the 11am starting signal.
Once wheelchair racer Ed Glazier had wheeled into action to safely complete the five mile loop, the main race was started. At the head of the race Cheltenham's Andy Prophet pulled away from the masses and dipped under 5 minutes for the first mile. The lead was never challenged and the in-form runner had a good morning to take the win in a fine time but, some distance from the long standing course record.
It was the ladies course record that was under extreme threat. That threat was Welsh multinational champion Catherine Dugdale. Oozing class, Dugdale's lead over in-form Jane Wassell was comfortable. However, the women's leader looked to have missed the chance to set a new record and it wasn't until the last few hundred yards that the cross-country specialist glanced her stopwatch and calculated that her target was within reach. A dash to finish line ended in agony as the Swansea star equaled the standing record!
With the winners clear, the windless conditions meant that good performances throughout the field were achievable.

With more than 150 pre-entries, the field for this popular 5 miler was always going to be big.

A record number of entries on the day meant a delayed start, but once the runners were off, it was clear that the perfect running conditions were going to be conducive to some excellent times, in fact a total of 351 ran on the day making this a record turn out.
