RUNNERS will be returning to the scenic Weymouth Bay 10k event this weekend.
Hundreds of competitors are expected to turn out for the popular race on Sunday (10am), which covers 122 metres plus two laps of Bowleaze Green before stretching out to Weymouth Pavilion Car Park and doubling back to the finish at Overcombe Corner.
Last year, Bridport runner Shaun Dixon powered to victory ahead of more than 300 runners in the Weymouth sunshine.
Dixon won in an impressive time of 34 minutes and 48 seconds, with Belgrave Harriers star George Mallinson (35:43) runner-up and Portland young talent Cory Stone (37:44) in third.
In the ladies’ classification, Egdon Heath Harriers athlete Nat Lawrence won in 38:44 ahead of Crewkerne’s Rachel Astington and Westbourne’s Isobel Rea.
Runners of all abilities are welcome to enter and entries will be accepted on the day at The Harvester Spyglass between 9 and 9.45am. Entry costs £19 and includes a bespoke medal.
There is plenty of free and pay parking at Heron Close Car Park, and the surrounding area, although due to the closure of The Riviera Hotel it is advised to park up before 9.30am, or arrange a lift.
Results will be published within 48 hours of the run.
