[Updated] Hot and Sunny for Folkestone Running Club’s 36th Ten Mile Race

Folkestone Running Club had success with their 36th annual ten mile race, of which was fully booked, with 704 runners taking part. The race started and finished at the green in Hythe, and went through to the lower sandgate road park for the turnaround point.

Overall winner was an out of county runner from Swansea Harriers, Will Munday, running in 56:05. He obtained over a two minute victory in front of the second placed runner. The first lady back was Liz Weeks of Tonbridge AC, obtaining a time of 1:07:23.

Whilst many of the club runners were marshalling, the club did have their own successes for those that ran. Stephen Male came in sixth place, obtaining a time of 1:00:21. Phil Hoyland came in at 1:05:39. Third lady back was the club’s Emma Creasey at 1:09:18. Next was Kevin Newman at 1:10:58, Richard Fowles at 1:17:55, Kirsty Wilson at 1:19:26, Emily Chambers at 1:20:22 and finally Danielle Ingleson at 1:24:28.
