At the Harrier-supported Babcary Road race and accompanying junior races, on Sunday 26 February, there was no lack of effort shown by all 125 in the main 7.5 mile road race, nor the accompanying junior races, on road or around the field. Winning runs came from Brighton & Hove Ac's Matthew Bristow and Maiden Newton's Linda Lascelles. There were 15 Harrier competing but equally strong representation from other local Clubs, including Langport Runners, Weston AC and Yeovil Town Road Runners, amongst others
