Junior runner Paddy Roddy and Stephen Chalkley headed to Dorridge to take part in the eighth Dorridge Fun Run, held on the roads over an 8.2 mile course. The race began at 10.30am with the cyclists setting off ten minutes before the runners - who had an option of completing  the 8.2 mile or 3.2 mile route.

Paddy  led from the start and his pace was such that he was overtaking cyclists from the one mile mark onwards. Paddy passed five miles in 28:28 - two seconds quicker than he finished the Sphinx Summer 5 where he suffered stitch. Paddy turned the final corner to tackle the final 100m sprint uphill to the finish line, coming home a delighted first in 46:57, which works out as his fastest race pace to date. Douglas Talbot of BRAT was second in 47:40 and first lady was Janet Evans in 48:19.

Stephen Chalkley ran well to finish forty-second in 60:58.
