One of the club’s brightest stars Callum Howes attended the Kent Schools AA Cross Country Champs, held at the Duke of York School in Dover. Callum managed to come in a respectable 11th place out of 99 boys.
Meanwhile, up in Gravesend, club Runners Jodie Stoakes and Darren Crew took part in the Saxons, Vikings and Normans, ‘Norman’s Challenge’ for their training runs today. They ran 3 laps totalling 15.75 miles. Both are in the throws of marathon training, as are many of our club runners. Jodie reported that there was a, ‘Great goodie bag with lots of chocolate in it!’.
Folkestone running club took over the regular Saturday Park run for the morning. Volunteers from the club offered pacing for the 5k event from 20 through to 40 minutes. It does appear that this led to some of the runners obtaining a personal best (PB)! The day saw some of the largest number of runners this particular parkrun has seen, having very nearly 400 individuals turn up to run!
