We held a 5-mile cross country race at Sparrows Den on Saturday 5 March. The weather was exceptionally cold. The course was firmer that one would have expected given recent rain, but it had been dry for a few days. We included the same age group prizes and the team prize this year, going to any three athletes from one club who were not otherwise prize winners. You could not win a 'lower' category prize if you had won a 'higher' category prize.
Fancy trying your hand at Track & Field? For all those vets (35+) who don't belong to clubs that take part in the Southern Counties Veterans Athletics Clubs league, why not become a second claim member to Bromley Vets so that you can have a go - anything from 100m to 3,000m plus the usual jumps and throws. Give us a call.
The winners of all the prizes were:
- First female: Sue James (Paddock Wood)
- Second female: Carol Beadle (Sevenoaks)
- First male: Ben Cockburn (White Oak Tri)
- Second male: David Abery (Gravesend)
- Female 35-49: Ros Turgut (unattached)
