Dynamite Dozen Shine in Somerset

A dozen Trotters showed plenty of spring in their step at the Easter Bunny 10k at Yeovil, with a trio claiming top three finishes in their age groups.

On a warm day in Somerset with only a moderate breeze, Ewan Walton led the charge, placing 23^rd overall in a fine sub-40 finish of 38:39. It gave him the honour of third in the over 40 male class.

There was also age group success for Keith Anderson who clocked 56:09, placing 164^th overall and third in the male over 70 class.
