THREE Bromsgrove and Redditch Athletics Club runners travelled to Hereford Leisure Centre for a ten-mile road race on Sunday.
Pete Hawcroft set off the strongest at what felt a comfortable pace but by three miles the heat was taking its toll.
Two miles later he was passed by Sharon Hetherington who went on to be 19th overall and first woman.
Pete hung on to 25th place and first over 50. Roger Beacham continued his recovery from respiratory problems to finish 54th and the first over 60 by a big margin.
They were all several minutes down on their recent times but the entire field suffered because of the heat and the Bromsgrove trio were happy with their performances.
