Folkestone 10
On Good Friday, Folkestone Running and Athletic Club organized it’s annual Folkestone 10 Mile Race. This race would not be possible without the hard work and support of all of the members of the club who organise and turn out to marshal the race and who cheered on the 724 runners that completed the course, however 4 lucky club members won a place in the race in the club lottery. Jon Eaton was the first back for the club in a time of 1:01:58, followed by Paul Bartlet in a PB time of 1:02:21, Darren Philip 1:14:47 and Trudi Curd in a time of 1:34:36.
