Race For Life 10k

New member Beth Goodchild (aka ‘Henry’s Mum’!) ran the Race for Life 10k in Folkestone in a time of 1.10.46, a 10k PB! ‘Conditions were pretty good – I’d rather have wind than heat any day, but running up the Zigzag path at around 8k was just not going to happen!’ Strong effort any way you split it, Beth!

FRAC Juniors coach Pat Hanys reports from SEC:

Folkestone’s Tristan Suberu won Gold at the South of England Championships, in the u15 boys 100m, this year’s SEAA championships were held at the iconic Crystal Palace Stadium.

In windy conditions Tristan finished nearly 2 metres ahead of the 2nd placed athlete.
