Hilly 100 provides long distance challenge
ATHLETICS
THE 2018 edition of the Hilly 100, hosted by Stratford Athletic Club, was held on a day of challenging weather conditions.
The annual ten-stage relay starts at the iconic American Fountain in Stratford before heading on a circuit into the Cotswolds before heading back to finish at Stratford Sports Club.
Stratford AC fielded three squads for this year’s race: an all-men’s team plus two mixed teams.
Stratford AC’s men’s team - Neil Wicks, Kieran Tursner, Rob Minton, Drew Sambridge, James Coy, Chris Cond, Richard Shephard, Sam Nicholson, and Alex Hill - completed the 100 miles in a highly respectable 11:38:05.
Stratford AC’s A and B mixed teams finished in 14:15:11 and 14:43:01 respectively.
