Bassingham 5 mile 2025
Lee Quibell entered this race assuming it was somewhere local not realising it was a 2 hour drive away in Lincolnshire but thankfully it was an afternoon start !! I think he was hoping for sub 30 mins but his time of 30.20 was still a 10 second pb and knowing Lincs it was probably very windy !!.
