The 36th Edition of the Overton 5 Mile Race, race #2 of 12 in the 2025/26 Hampshire Road Race League.

The course winds through the beautiful country lanes around Overton, with plenty of rolling hills and the same landscapes that once inspired Jane Austen’s early novels.

This year’s slightly cooler conditions, combined with a welcome earlier start time, made for perfect racing weather and allowed us to push the pace.  A short but heavy downpour at the finish even provided a refreshing cooldown.

A fantastic effort from the small but mighty team today—great running all round!
