Obviously we are someway off our usual leading positions and it is clear our competitors are putting more focus on the KGP this year; at least that’s what they said to me at Canterbury and the results support that! Therefore we are going to have to work hard to retain our titles this year! With our home race (the Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon) up next, and Paddock Woof in early March, we should get ourselves back in contention but we do need a good representation and some high scorers to turn up at these and future events, so please help support the club to retain the KGP title and sign up!
Good luck to all running the the next two KGP races.
