Marston Forest 5K, 9th June 2023

A warm summers evening at Marston Vale Country Park saw a strong turnout from Bedford & County AC and several winning performances at the Marston Forest 5k. The flat course and favourable conditions meant many athletes across the age groups set new PBs. Paul Mizon took the lead from the gun and maintained his position for a winning time of 16:03 closely followed by Henry Bambrick in second (16:06). Sam Bosher (17:16) was first U17 and Andy Blair (18:36) first V50. Charlotte Kent (19:17) was second overall in the women’s race with Ellie Harper (20:28) taking the win in the female U17 category. Both men’s (Paul Mizon, Henry Bambrick, Daniel Foster) and women’s (Charlotte Kent, Ellie Harper, Sophie Hing) teams won the overall team prizes with the men’s B Team 3rd (Paul Cooper, Sam Bosher, Oliver Wilson).
