Race 4 saw Ed Chuck Ed blast his way around five and a bit laps for an unofficial PB and also smashed the race record by 10 seconds! Highlights from races 3 and 4 are on YouTube below.
2021 Mark Hayes Mile
At the end of June we held our annual series of mile races at the Dulwich College track to honour our former mile champion from the 1990s - Mark Hayes. The club is enjoying record levels of membership at all levels of ability, with this reflected in 52 runners across 6 races. Winners of the first five races included Jenny Bomers in 7:08, James Rimmer in 6:19, Rob Meadows in 5:56, Michael Nogas in 5:35 and Lloyd Collier in 5:18.
The final race decided the men’s and ladies’ champions. After a relatively slow start, Jack Ramm and Ben Howe upped the tempo as the laps ticked by, with Jack’s strong kick in the last 100 metres enabling him to win by 3 seconds in a new club championship best time of 4:36. Kay Sheedy ran a relatively even pace to record a new personal best in 5:17, taking 57 seconds off her time from the 2019 event.
Highlights from the final race 6 are below via YouTube.
