Ivanhoe Runners  took part in two separate 10k events this weekend.

Julie Ward-Rotherham made a welcome return to the team finishing next in 53:06 (426th) followed by John Lewis who set a great new personal best of 59:20 (608th) with new member recording her first 10k race for Ivanhoe Runners with a great finish just outside the hour in 1:02:01 (666th). Finally the club fielded a team at the King Richards 10k, a new event at Market Bosworth.
