Today saw the start of the marathon season. There were plenty of runners from Folkestone at today’s race. The weather was perfect and there were some excellent performances. First man home was Adam Porter in 2:38:54 followed closely by Dave Tyler in 2:40:58, while the first woman was Deborah Jeffery in 3:42:42. There were PB’s for Diane Parsons in 4:04:45, a massive 21 minutes and Kate Lancefield in 5:11:24. Ivana Collier, who had the club place, also did amazingly well but unfortunately was taken ill at 24 miles and had to retire. Based on her estimated finish time she would have come in around 3:36.
