Fred Hughes 10 St Albans 19.01.25
Emilia reports on the Fred Hughes 10 road race :
“ A few Heathsiders braved chilly weather last Sunday to run in the Fred Hughes 10, which features a scenic hilly two lap course in the countryside near St Albans. Seyfu Jamaal (50:09) was the clear winner of the race, finishing just over two minutes ahead of the second place runner and narrowly missing the course record. Kader Seyed (52:31) and Tsegay Berhane (53:24) were the next Heathsiders in after Seyfu. Slightly further down the course, Liam Hazelton made a welcome return to racing 10 miles following recent injury.”
