It was an exciting start to see the bridge filled with the 2000 athletes: truly an historic moment as this was the first time the bridge had ever been closed for an event. Luckily there were no high winds and the weather was perfect for running, although the course was quite a tough one: undulating and having one long&#8217; steep hill. The route took the runners through the villages towards Thornbury and then back over the footpath on the bridge to finish.<\/p>\n<p>First male overall was Stephen Peterson of Les Croupiers in 1.14.26 and first female was local Chepstow Harrier Katherine matthews in 1.21.00. \u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">First Forest runner was\u00a0Chris Penny [ pictured] \u2013 1.33.32<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/severn-bridge-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2756\" alt=\"severn bridge 2\" src=\"http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/severn-bridge-2-300x224.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/severn-bridge-2-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/fodac.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/severn-bridge-2.jpg 639w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Other times: Alan Robertson \u2013 1.45.36;\u00a0Peter Short \u2013 1.47.00;\u00a0Wayne Stewart \u2013 1.49.32;\u00a0Scott Berry- 1.51.58;\u00a0Gavin Robertson \u2013 1.52.00; Mike Marks \u2013 1.54.07; \u00a0Andy George \u2013 1.57.44;\u00a0Jacqui Wynds \u2013 1.57.50;\u00a0David Jenkins \u2013 1.58.35;\u00a0Claire Morgan \u2013 1.59.32;\u00a0Shirley Albrow \u2013 2.00.53;\u00a0Angela Bowkett \u2013 2.05.55;\u00a0Karen Barnett &#8211; 2.10.49;\u00a0Graham James \u2013 2.20.54.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The inaugural running of the Severn Bridge Half Marathon attracted a number of FODAC runners.
