KENILWORTH TOWN AND ABBEY FIELDS
Club member Mike Hampton organised a very successful event introducing a new element, urban running around Kenilworth town streets adding to the Abbey Fields park race. This attracted competitors from around the midlands and visitors from Spain en route to the international Scottish 6 day event.
The new map drawn up by Mike was used for two courses, a 5.6k long and a 3.6k medium. Matt Halliday M20 easily won the long course taking 35.53mins, Tom Honniball M21 was 2nd in 41.56mins only one second ahead of Alan Segar M35 41.57mins. On the Urban medium course Stephanie Ellis-Gray was 1st in 34.33mins ahead of John Bowman M65 40.15mins and Jackie Stuart M55 44.59mins.
Two courses were planned around the park and on the medium 3.6k course Paul Taylor M35 was 1st in 22.04mins, 2nd Sam Hart M12 29.18mins and 3rd John Ward M65 29.56mins. Alfie Bullus M12 won the short 2.2k course in 24.41mins, Finn Donaldson M8 2nd in 25.07mins and first timer Bradley Powles M10 was 3rd in 26.05mins.
