Liss Runners have enjoyed some impressive results in the Hampshire Road Race League (HRRL).

The club took a strong team to the Victory five-mile race at the Lakeside Business Park in Portsmouth.

The event, which is now in its 78th year, is one of the top five-mile races in the race calendar and offers a flat, fast and almost traffic-free course.

It rained throughout the race, turning heavier as the race progressed.

The course was waterlogged, and the 24 Liss Runners were soaked through by the end.

Andy Turner ran an excellent race in the wet conditions to finish in first place in the V60 category.

Next up for Liss in the HRRL was the popular Stubbington 10km race, which attracted 1,812 runners.

Phil Avery finished 34th overall and first male in the V45 category in a time of 34.23.

Catherine Seager was 16th female overall and second female in the V40 category in a time of 40.12.

Gemma Sills was fifth in the V40 female category with a personal best 42.20.

Liss Runners then took on the Ryde ten-mile race.

After a clear, crisp, early start a large Liss contingent made the trip across the water to the Isle of Wight.

The undulating and scenic single-lap course covered Ryde, Puckpool, Seaview, St Helens and Netttlestone before finishing in Ryde.

The course was slightly different to previous years, with the last large hill being omitted.

Phil Avery finishing first in his age category, while Catherine Seager and Anna Wemyss finished second in their age categories.

Liss’ ladies team finished in second place on the day.

There were also a large number of ten-mile personal bests achieved on the day.

After the race the Liss team made their way up the hill in Ryde for food and drinks.
