The Sussex Grand Prix rolled into Hove on Wednesday night, or maybe it was blown in by the 20mph winds that welcomed runners on an otherwise fine evening.
The Phoenix 10k is the 8th race in the Grand Prix series, and is considered the pinnacle of the competition, and one of the best road races in the South.
The out and back course starts next to Hove Lawns on the prom and heads out West towards Shoreham Power Station, before returning the exact same route.
Large groups formed on the way out to seek protection from the wind and conserve energy for the return leg. At the turnaround the groups blew apart as it became a flat out time trial for home.
5 Eastbourne Rovers made the trip to represent the club:
15th Bryan Brett in 33:34
22nd Patrick Marsden in 34:37
35th Richard Davis in 35:30 (New PB, 4th in V40)
132nd Phil Wood in 39:25 (New PB, 12th in V50)
386th Belinda Cramp in 49:14 (10th in V55)
