TOBY Chapman of Bournemouth AC won the inaugural Gordano Round multi terrain marathon from Gordano School, Portishead, yesterday.
Chapman completed the course, which also included six miles of road, in a time of 3hrs 44mins 09secs in what were very testing conditions.
Runner-up was Alex Smith (4:46.30) with Luke Hanson third (3:49.06) and Team Bath veteran Stuart Henderson fourth (3:49.26).
Top woman in 12th overall of the 99 starters was Caroline Hall in a time of 4hrs 38mins 13secs, though we are still awaiting confirmation that it is the same Caroline Hall who competes for Bitton Road Runners.
