Colchester Half Marathon results

14 March 2016 - By Marc Underdown

Thanks to Bill Smythe for this race report:

The day started with a cold very foggy morning, long queues on the A12 and further queues at the parking ticket machine. This caused a few club members to reach the start line a little bit late, notably James Kennerley 14 minutes behind and at least one missing the start altogether.

By nine the fog had lifted, the sun had appeared and with only a slight breeze the day had turned into the perfect running conditions. Chris Martin was the first club member home achieving a course best of 1.23.29 followed by Leo Cole and Thomas Paley.

The first lady home and continuing her great start to the year was Vicky Hunt in 1.40.00 followed by Shelley Enders and Emma Floyde.

There were some good PBs from Trevor Scott, Simon Scott, David Hunt, Sean Darney and Paul Thomas by 4 minutes.

A fantastic supported race with a great atmosphere led to lots of happy club members and a few seasons bests.
