From a tired Race Director………….Well what a scorcher! RACE ROUND UP This year’s 10K ROAD RACE must have be one of the hottest on record – as if our course wasn’t challenging enough. However Simon Plumber (City of Salisbury) seemed completely unbothered by either as stormed home, well ahead, in our new course record of 32:25. Our winner from the previous two years, James Baker (Chichester Runners) was a strong second with Lester Bevan (Unattached) taking third place. In the ladies race Karrie Blake (City of Portsmouth), was a very impressive winner in 38:58 the new course record. Lora Bukhory (Unattached) took second with Kate Towerton (Unattached) in third. There were age category wins for Kevin King (M40), Noel O’Dowd (M50), Rod Smith (M60), Tony Crowther (M70), Lydia Browning (F35), Paula Meredith (F45) and Marilyn Hunt (F55). Fareham Crusaders took the ladies club prize, whilst Eastleigh Running Club claimed first spot for the men. Our Team Award this year goes to the team of RAF runners based at National Air Traffic Services in Swanick A Victory for the girls in the Fun Run with Evie Grice led the field home in emphatic style in around 7 minutes, a great time. Elliott Wright was our first boy home.
