Another month, another end of month run in Hyde Park of course.
Overcast conditions welcomed a field of 240 to the capital’s favourite lunch time 5k.
A select number of Tunbridge Wells Harriers made it a day trip to the big smoke to escape from their post Christmas lull for some lunch time fresh air.
Harriers continued to feature strongly in their age categories but didn’t do quite enough to trouble our industrious club statisticians.
Pre race lakeside coffee and post race lunch in the west end hit the spot.
Race winners (making the most of their school holidays !):-
Michael Clark (U18) City of Norwich 14:56
Olivia Forrest (FU18) Brentwood Beagles 17:04
Notable runner – Clare Elms (F60) 18:51 99.6%
