Another month, another end of month run in Hyde Park of course.
Glorious Spring sunshine welcomed a field of 223 to the capital’s favourite lunch time 5k.
An increasing number of Tunbridge Wells Harriers made it a day trip to the big smoke from home or took advantage of a London based work lunch break.
Harriers continued to feature strongly in their age categories and a lot of us were in or around 20 minutes. I was the only one to trouble our industrious club statisticians, but some were very close.
Pre race lakeside coffee and post race lunch in the west end hit the spot.

Rick Weston (M35) Guernsey AC 15:42
