Cornwood Challenge 2022

The 2022 Cornwood Challenge was held on Saturday 23rd July 2022. Thanks to everyone who helped make the Sibelco Cornwood 10K Challenge and Fun Run a success on its return after two years away from the village calendar. In line with most running events in the West Country, entries were lower than in previous years but it’s great that the Church Special Events Committee have been able to get this lovely community event back out into the public eye again.

Congratulations to our winners and podium finishers in the 10K but especially to Maddy Jones, the first U16 girl to finish first in the 4K Fun Run, and winner of the inaugural Girls’ Cup, generously donated to us by Dr. Beth Newstead who lives just along the way at Venton and by a happy coincidence is Maddy’s Mum.

Well done and many thanks to all who took part or helped in any way at all, and we will hopefully see you all again on the start line on the evening of the fourth Saturday in July 2023.
