Elliott Tyler of Ryde Harriers said: “Credit must be given to Gosport Road Runners who organized a race that could accommodate a large number of runners whilst being a safe and affordable event.
“I have no doubt that Ryde Harriers will compete in the race again, year after year, and come away with respectable times and personal bests.”
