The first Compton 10k took place on 22 May, organised by Compton and Shawford Pre-school and Compton School Association.

The multi-terrain 10km run was a sell-out success, with many runners also joining in the fun of the fete held in the school grounds.

The chip-timed run was popular with participants from many local running clubs. The winners were Matthew King (37.18) and Bryony Thompson (43.25), with Martin Chorley and Elaine Salmon the first male and female runners in the over 60s category to cross the finish line.

There was a brilliant atmosphere, with runners taking part in a warm up by Energie Fitness Winchester, and local businesses Alexandra Sports and Physiotherapy and Wellness offering support and advice to all runners. A total of 227 runners crossed the finish line and all received a wooden medal.

The day continued with a busy and vibrant fete, with visitors enjoying all the stalls, games and entertainment in glorious sunshine.

Speaking on behalf of Compton and Shawford Pre-school, chairperson Nicola Webster said: “I’m absolutely delighted that the event was such a success. Our aim was to raise awareness of the pre-school, and we have certainly done that! To sell out for the first 10k race we’ve organised is brilliant, and we really hope that we can organise the event again next year.”

Local businesses lent their support to the event too, with sponsors of the event including Winchester Motor Company, Highwood, Barchester Healthcare and Alexandra Sports. Other supporters included Rees Leisure, Energie Fitness, Rathbones, Richmond House Beauty, Charters, Holloway Health and Fitness and Winchester Physiotherapy and Wellness.

Speaking on behalf of Compton All Saints’ Primary School, headteacher Allison Driver said: “It was the most wonderful day, our lovely school site was heaving with people enjoying themselves in the sunshine. There was a real feeling of community and joy that we’re able to hold these sorts of events again. I do hope it’ll be repeated next year.”
