JR Summer 5K Handicap Results

13 July 2017 - By Tony Wallen

Well done to everyone who ran tonight in the finale of the John Roberts 5k series.

With the publicity machine in full swing before the event, we had a huge field of 44 runners and it looked like the bookies would be paying out on all the pre-race favourites.  When the dust had settled, we had 2 new course records, 5 under 18 minutes and Finso made it to the start line.  The only bet that didn’t pay out focused on the length of Heydon’s shorts!  James Crisp bagged himself a new Club Record and there were numerous other pb’s.

The handicap race was won by Paul Thomas and Rachel Sweatt.  The series winner is decided on a combination of race position and improvement over the series.  In a bit of a family affair, Pete and Vicky Riley both scooped the top award with Dave and Vicky Hunt both finishing second.  Chris Martin rounded out the podium for the men and there was a three way tie for the ladies with Carina Taylor, Rachel Sweatt and Tanya Nash all sharing third place.

Thanks to Annie for videoing the finish; Tracey & Liz for sign-on and, with Kerry, for  timekeeping; Theresa, Martina Giles, Mat, Callum, Martyn and Simon for marshalling duties; DJ for course set up; Steve for the photos and Marc for providing the magic spreadsheet that allowed the results to be calculated so efficiently.  Apologies if I’ve missed anyone.
