Forth Road Bridge 10K Results
13 August 2009
Congratulations to Tina Miller who set a new 10K personal best at the Forth Road Bridge 10K race last weekend.
The race started in North Queensferry before heading towards Ferrytoll and then over the eastern walkway of the Forth Road Bridge. Upon reaching the south side of the bridge, the runners complete a small loop before heading under the bridge and emerging on the upstream side to start the return back to the north side, with the race finishing at the northern end of the bridge.
For the first 4K, the runners were plagued by monsoon conditions and a couple of steep climbs, after which they had to battle the seemingly relentless slope of the bridge in both directions!
Tina finished the route in 51.30, taking 29 seconds off the personal best she set two weeks ago at Musselburgh, and beating her time from last years race by almost 6 minutes.
