HARLOW Running Club members were out and about at several events at
the weekend and during the previous week.

At the Hatfield Midweek 5K Series, the 3rd race of 3, Adrian Fell
finished in 22nd place out of 102 finishers in an excellent 18min
51sec. He was followed home by John Tennant in 38th place and 1st Vet

and Sharon Wright 57th in 22min 01sec.

At a very windy Great South Run 10 Mile race at Portsmouth Andy
Ramage did well to achieve a personal best time for the distance,
finishing in 1910th place out of nearly 30,000 finishers in 1hr 18min
35sec. Also achieving a PB was Paul Schroder 350th in 1hr 24min 12sec,

hilly Eastbourne Beachy Head Marathon in 421st place out of 1557
