IT has been a quieter week for Running Forever Running Club, but there are still some amazing achievements to report.

Ali Bisatt travelled to Wales to take part in the Beacons 50 ultra.

This race, described by the organisers as ‘Fough’ (fun but tough), starts in Brecon on the banks of the River Usk, and consists of 52 miles of gruelling terrain, changeable weather and a total ascent of 3300m.

Bisatt was second overall in an impressive time of 12:36:27.

Two members also claimed trophies at Frome Sprint Triathlon.

This race involves a 400m pool swim, 23km bike ride and 5km run.

Tanya Lewis was second lady with a time of 1:21:15 (35th place overall), and Sally Tuer was 193rd overall in 1:48:19– first lady in her age group.

There were 32 RFRC members belting around Longrun Meadow on Saturday for the parkrun, and several others on tourist parkruns at Cardiff, Guildford, Eden Project, Seaton, Parke, Burnham & Highbridge, Tooting Common and Exmouth.

If you are inspired to try a trail race in the Somerset countryside, you may be interested in the Herepath Half (www.herepathhalf.org).

Organised by RFRC, this half-marathon takes place on October 28 and is renowned for its beautiful views, fantastic support and spectacular cakes at the end; hurry up, though, as places are going fast!
