Forest of Dean Athlete Gemma Hewitt continued her series of long distance challenges by completing the Green Man ultra marathon this Saturday the 4<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> of March.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The race involves a 45 mile circumnavigation of Bristol and and follows a tough cross country route which includes 924 Meters (3031 ft) of climbing.  Gemma was one of 232 starters and finished in 149th<\/sup> place in just under 11 hours.  The race takes a great deal of dedicated training to even have a chance of completing the course with this years race seeing 31 competitors drop out on route.<\/span><\/p>\n

St. David\u2019s Day 10K Cardiff Sunday 5th<\/sup> March<\/h2>\n

Fifteen Forest of Dean AC runners joined a total of more than 1700 others for the annual St. David\u2019s day 10k race, which, with along with a 1k and 5k race, saw more than 3000 people take to the footpaths of Cardiff\u2019s Bute Park this Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Three FODAC runners had particular success with Dave Lothian taking 1<\/span>st<\/sup> place out of 103 in the M50+ class with a finish time of 39:49, while Rachael Nash just missed out on the medals with 4<\/span>th<\/sup> place out of 157 in the F40+ class with 49:17 and Alan Robertson took 7<\/span>th<\/sup> place in the M50+ class in 46:06, an achievement more note worthy given that he normally runs in the M60+ class and had had a tough 10k race the previous day representing the club in cross country.<\/span><\/p>\n
