Forest Autumn Mile<\/h2>\n

There were two big events in the Forest of Dean Athletic Calendar this week.\u00a0 The first of these was the running of the Autumn Mile at the track at Five Acres.\u00a0 A total of 89 runners ranging from under to 7 to over 70 ran 4 times round the track to find out how fast they could run the distance.\u00a0 The quickest among the seniors was Peter Woodward<\/strong> who almost broke 5 minutes, finishing in 5:00.5, followed by Alexander Lindfield<\/strong> in 5:02.9 and Marcus Bennetto in 5:07.7, all representing FODAC. First lady was Sam Harris<\/strong> (FODAC) 5:52.9, followed by Chepstow Harriers Sarah Bell<\/strong> 6:05.3 and Sherryl Hall<\/strong> (FODAC) 6:06.3.<\/p>\n
