As everyone was running around trying to get ready for Christmas with their last minute shopping, Peeler Wayne King had other plans and was lacing his trainers ready for the Telford 10k. Statistically proven to be the fastest 10k course in the UK. This is a generally flat 2 lap course, using Telford Town Park, and the Silkin Way (a former railway line).
Wayne finished in an amazing time of 37:26. Well done Wayne!
