(Pictured L to R: Martin Dent, Eric Morris, Paul de Jongh)
Martin Dent used event 10 at Bruce Ridge to extend his lead in the 2020-21 Runners Shop Twilight Series. Bruce Ridge terrain and vegetation is quite variable, with areas of relatively flat, open forest, while other areas are step. Fallen trees are challenging and favour strong, robust runners. The venue suited Dent who was the fastest on the 4.4 km Moderate 1 course with a time of 22 min 28 sec, 23 seconds faster than Paul de Jongh.
