On Thursday evening, Jenny Twiggy Quinn and Philip Heathfield ran the Out of the Blue 5k trail run through the grounds of Ashburnham Place near Battle. Out of 260 runners, Phil was 11th overall and 2nd in his age cat in, 23:37 and Jenny was 64th overall and 4th in her age cat in 29:29. The Highlight of the race was a heard of deer who ran across the running path!!
On a gorgeous, hot Saturday, Phil Maul ran the Run to the Sea ultra, which starts in Horsham and follows the Downs Link way and then the South Downs Way to Brighton and finishes in the sea front. According to Phil, The first half of the race is flat, and the second half pretty hilly! There were Beautiful views from the Downs and lovely weather. I’m really pleased that I managed a 50km pb of 5:28:32.
Also on Saturday, Noah Paterson was at the Kent T&F Championships and came 4th in the Under 17 men’s 1500, in a time of 4.16.25.
Lisa Smith, Kate Lancefield and Hazel Green did a virtual Moonwalk for Cancer Research on Saturday. From Canterbury to Whitstable along the crab and winkle way and then along the sea front to Margate. And on Sunday it was the Hastings 5 mile. The run goes from the town hall down to St Leonard’s and back up to the old town and then back into the town. It was the first time that they’d ever run up and back Hastings pier which was good but a bit slippy!! Jane Wren finished in a time of 38:48 and Alan Randall in a time of 39:50. Added bonus was that Jane Wren got 1st V55, which she wasn’t expecting.
