Weeks' Target Fast 5Ks in Yeovil

Yeovil 5K - Thursday 13th August

At the fifth race of the Yeovil Town RRC 5K Series on 13 August, Chloe and Steve Weeks made the two-hour journey to Somerset to compete on one of the South West's best-known fast and flat 5K courses. The Yeovil series, which runs from April to September, is popular with runners of all abilities thanks to its personal best potential and competitive fields. A total of 171 runners lined up for the latest instalment, with favourable conditions providing an excellent opportunity for quick times.

Steve Weeks produced a strong performance, finishing 56th overall in a time of 19:11. His run earned him 5th place in the MV50 category and marked his fastest 5K of the year, continuing a consistent season of racing.

Just two places behind, Chloe Weeks crossed the line in 58th place overall in a new personal best time of 19:18. Her impressive run saw her finish as the 4th female overall and claim 3rd place in the Senior Female category, adding another podium category finish to her season and demonstrating the benefits of the fast Yeovil course.
