Peter Miller had an awesome run on Sunday, winning the Hoad Hill Half Marathon! He ran it in 1:37:56, a brilliant time for such a tough course, which included running up and down Hoad Hill (pictured below). He was over a minute ahead of 2nd place! This was a race in which he finished 4th last year.
On Saturday, we had a lot of runners parkrunning. Tony Bacon ran his best 5K as a Haverhill runner, coming 2nd in the Cambridge parkrun in 17:20. He stays 5th on the club records, but improves his time by 10 seconds. Michael Dennison came 20th in 19:28. Karina Hunt ran a personal course record at Cambridge running 33:01. Terry Braverman ran his 303rd parkrun!
Tony Gooding came 8th at Clacton parkrun running 20:35.
Jamie Randall came 19th at the Whiteley parkrun with 21:30.

There were lot’s of good performances at the Kevin Henry 5K race in Cambridge last Thursday, including many PB’s despite the course appearing to be about 100metres too long! The mens team did well to finish 3rd team. Michael Gilbert led the way with another super quick run to finish 4th in 16:10. Next was Alex Smith who got a PB of 17:01 which is 4th best on the club records (This was Alex’s 9th PB this year just one away from the top of the PB league). Andrew Bell followed in 17:31. Then it was Peter Miller with 17:46 which is a PB and 8th best on the club records. Michael Dennison was next with 19:18 also a PB, and Mark White ran 19:25.
Our four fastest females were Kirsty Millard, Karen Martin, Vashti MacDonald-Clink (who got a 1 second PB!) and Shirley Fowler.
Also getting a 1 second PB, was Kevin Millard, who now has 10 for this year and goes joint top of the PB league with Tony Bacon. Jason and Clair Gale(45 seconds off!), Alison and Rob Goodwin, Carl Oldford and Emma Moss also got PB’s.
The day after many people raced again in the Wibbly Wobbly Log Jog, which was just short of 5 miles. Mark White finished 12th in 34:59 and was 3rd in his age category. Kirsty Millard finished in 38:36 and was first female under 40 to finish! Shirley Fowler ran 44:28 and was 3rd in her age category. Sirkka Love was 1st in her age category running 48:08.
