A big thank you from Beckenham Running club to everybody that ran in today’s 10k Charity Trail Race. The race was held in perfect conditions on a what is fast becoming quite a muddy course, although slightly helped in parts by the council’s new bike track. Don’t expect anymore spending from them in the future on such lavish cycling facilitities in the wake of the austerity measures…..but I digress.
The race was won in a new course record by Blackheath & Bromley’s Russell Bentley in 33:57 in a close finish with local Beckenham Running Shop guru and Newham & Essex ‘s Abdi Madhar in 33:59. Clayton Barrett from Medway & Maidstone was 3rd in 36:19 after a close tussle with Stephen Thackeray in 36:22.
The women’s race (and most of the other prizes) was dominated by Dulwich Runners, who took the 1st 3 places, with local legend (and Beckenham 2nd claimer!) Clare Elms taking 1st place in 37:58, Charlie Wood in 2nd ( 41:26) and Ola Balme in 3rd (42:03).
