A promising 18-year-old runner completed his first ten-mile race in just over an hour.

Bourton Roadrunners' Dougal Hamilton-Smith took part in the Wimborne 10 after the Great South Run was cancelled last month due to extreme weather.

The race, which is part of the Dorset Road Race League, was Hamilton-Smith's first ten-mile race.

He maintained a consistent seven-minute-per-mile pace throughout and finished with a time of one hour, 10 minutes, and one second.

Hamilton-Smith said: "Thrilled with my first 10-miler, can’t wait for my next race."

On the same day, Danny Hannig took on the Broadway Half Marathon, a 13.2-mile trail race known for its challenging circular route.

Despite the tough course, Danny finished fourth overall with a time of one hour, 39 minutes, and 20 seconds.

He described the race as an "absolute killer."

Meanwhile, Barry O’Leary and Basia Legierska travelled to the Forest of Dean for the Mandy Whittington Newent 9, an undulating road race organised by Newent Runners.

The Bourton pair completed the 9.5 kilometre route together, finishing in 55 minutes and 45 minutes.

Legierska said: "It was a great run, with a beautiful course and was an absolutely stunning day."

Roadrunners also took part in several parkrun events over the weekend, including Evesham, which was celebrating its 400th run and hosting more than 400 participants.

It was here that Tim Hemming managed to achieve a course personal best, finishing in 21 minutes and 22 seconds.

Elsewhere many achieved personal bests and top-three finishes in their respective age categories across the country.

At Brockwell in London Eva Shoemark completed the course in 26 minutes and 45 seconds.

At Chipping Norton School Edward Hare finished in 18 minutes and 33 seconds, while Louise Hamilton-Smith and Liz Hulcup both completed the course in 28 minutes and nine seconds.

Other parkrun venues with Roadrunners getting stuck in included King George V Playing Field in Cheltenham, Lydney, Margate, Stratford, The Great Field in Dorchester, and Witney.
