Charity Winter 10k Series: 2011 - 12
|
|
Introduction
 From
Race Director, John Mackay:
For those of you who have not been fully inducted
into to the joys of winter running with the Club, to
break up the tedium of running through dark, wet,
cold streets, we run a handicap series for a bit
of fun (every year since 1990!!)
It also gives you
the chance to see how training is going because
the run is timed. Instead of going off in
all directions in separate groups, we all follow
the same route, with slower runners going off
first and faster runners held back so that in theory
everyone can finish together.
Any amendments to the official results, please
contact John,
who will consider to make any changes. Good luck!!

The Route
The main route:
leaves from the lamppost,
down to
Green Street Green, [south on Sevenoaks Road]
past the Rose & Crown,
up to Locksbottom
lights, [all the way along the A21, then turn
right, onto Crofton Road]
down to the War Memorial
and back along
Sevenoaks Road.
This is pretty close to a
10k route. To help close up the handicap a
bit, runners who would not expect to finish
in 50 minutes have the extra advantage of cutting
the corners to make it about 5 miles, with timings
adjusted accordingly.
Detailed Results
Race 1: November 2011
Records seem to becoming like busses, you wait 20 years for the fastest time to be broken only for Jason to outdo himself in the next run. His time of 33.29 took 6 seconds off his record set in the last Handicap in March. Congratulations. Not to be over shadowed, Suzy Yates set a new PB with 40.17, getting ever closer to breaking the 40 min barrier that has not been bettered by a woman since 1991.
Altogether a good night in dank and dismal conditions. 74 runners completed the course and 48 beat the handicap of 50 mins. That included Brian Allen who ran despite coming off his bike on Monday and complaining of broken ribs – wait to see what he can do when he is fit!
£52 was raised for our charity collection. Many thanks to the band of helpers without whom it would not be possible to run the event. Next Handicap will be on Tuesday 13 December.
