Results & Photos of the Great Glenville 4 mile run - Sun 24th Nov 2019

The rain held off just long enough for this years Glenville 4 mile race with most of the runners crossing the finish line before it arrived. Conditions were near perfect for racing... cool, dry with no wind.

The was a noticeable step up in the organisation of this years race as the organisers responded to the increased numbers. It's the small changes that are made every year that makes things run smoothly...i.e. better traffic management, more organised parking, finish road closed off and improved start.

It's safe to say that the Great Glenville Run is now one of the best organised races on the calendar. It probably should be no suprise that all 600 places sold out.

Note the dramatic increase in numbers in recent years
