The organisers of the 2012 Hogs Back Road Race, All About Triathlons, sent us this report from the event in Loseley, Guildford, UK. The runners set off on a clear morning on 2nd December 2012.
Race Report
456 hardy souls decided that Sunday and it’s frosty morning was the day for a run up and over the Hogs Back – the large long hill to the west of Guildford. At 11.7km the new safer (no major A31 main road) route is a bit over a kilometre shorter than the old route (at 8.2 miles) and starts and finishes at Loseley House – going over to Guildford and then up and along the Hogs Back, past the TV masts and then descending through Compton and back into the House – along the tree lined avenue to cross the finish line.
The race itself was won by Tom Robertson (#476), in 40:52 and Tish Jones (#296) in 44:03.
Tish had fought off a particularly hard challenge from Jenny Jagger (#283) 44:06 by only 3 seconds at the finish having been behind on the hill climb up to the Hogs Back. Fiona Love (#339) put in an awesome sprint finish for 45:36. Ben Evans brought the home team Guildford and Godalming AC back in a respectable 2nd place with 41:28
