On Sunday 2nd June 2024 I travelled to Grimsby in North East Lincolnshire to race the Orsted Great Grimsby 10K, organised by Tape2Tape events. I have never taken part in this race before so I was very excited to have a crack at it! It was another beautiful sunny day around about 15 degrees with just a gentle breeze. I was hoping to finish in a time of around 47 minutes but I knew deep down that this would be very hard to attain. I had ran a 5K Race a few days before recording 23.46 so 47 minutes would be a hard ask. There were also several runners from my local running club Gainsborough & Morton Striders taking part in this race so it promised to be a great club day out!
Did I hit my target of 47 minutes? - Watch the video to find out!

Well done Kev !! Super warm so your time is still a great one. First time I've done it and would definitely do it again. Slightly disappointed at the trophy situation as the first female finisher was a V40 so she was also awarded the V40 trophy as well. Never known this as usually only one prize. Same for V45 but it does show the amazing running of Vet females

Thanks Vicky yes I'm happy with my finish time now & an unexpected 3rd place in my Age group. I enjoyed Grimsby & will return next year. It's unusual for the first female to also get another trophy for winning her category. I bet you weren't very happy about that, I know I would be upset if I came 2nd in age group
