On Sunday 57 runners from FRAC took part in the annual Folkestone 10k. The weather was near pot perfect for the event. New members Prakash and Manda Gurung stormed the course with Prakash finishing in 4th place overall and 2nd Vet 45 whilst Manda came home 2nd female and 1st Vet 40. Other strong performances came from NIkki Goodwin who was 5th female overall and 2nd Vet 40 Vicky Scott who finished 3rd Vet female 40 and 8th female overall.

In the men’s event Folkestone also won the team prize with Prakash Gurung, Joe Bruce finishing 1st Junior male and 5th overall and Nick Steele 14th overall and 1st Vet 40 just outside his Pb time . Well done to all team members.

Carrie Thomas wrote this about her race “I achieved at PB at Folkestone Coastal 10K yesterday, and crossed the line in 51.04. I just wanted to beat last year’s time of 54.42 and had no idea I had got a PB too! I got a stitch in the last few miles but kept pushing to the end. I was overjoyed by the result. It was a great race with a very friendly atmosphere. Weather was spot on!”
