RESULTS ROUND-UP

 It was a Kent AC sweep at the top of the podium at the Peckham Rye 10k this morning with Lee Haze (36.37) and Sarah Hanley (38.13) taking the wins. This was also a course record (and a PB!) for Sarah Hanley and a fantastic first race back for Lee after a few years of injuries. 
Well done both! 

On Wednesday night, Heather Castle ran 53:57 on the hilly Brixton Run Through Chase the Sun course, which placed her second in her age category. Yesterday, David Cowdry ran 1:59:44 at the Newbury Racecourse half marathon

Over on the track at the South London Athletics Network ‘Get the season Goin’ Track & Field Open Gift McLaren ran 17.44 for third in the 150m, and in the 3000m Will Pitt ran 9:55.43 and Paul McCrone 10:52.30.

Well done to all runners!

Please let us know if you have an upcoming race so we can include your results, or if we have missed your results!
