Respectable effort from Istead veterans
2:46pm Tuesday 15th December 2009
ISTEAD & Ifield’s over 50s men’s team placed ninth at the Kent veterans cross country championships on Saturday.
A milder wind caused runners no difficulty and there was not too much mud on the course for a change.
The course was set around flat fields with an interesting hilly section in a short woodland section.
Ladies and over 60s men ran two laps of the 2,400m course, while the 40+ and 50+ men had four circuits to complete.
Eight Istead runners took part in total.
Results:
Over 35 ladies: 15th Lynne Champion 22m49s; 22nd Claire Ward 29m06s.
Over 45 ladies: 16th Sue Beecham 24m53s; 29th Jeannette Giles 34m51s.
Over 40 men: Mark Champion.
Over 50 men: Fourth Ray Pearce 33m45s; 37th Steve Cason 40m20s; 39th Alan Cowan 40m41s.
Over 60 men: 29th Bob Carter 25m49s.
The following day saw an annual favourite take place, the Ditton turkey trot race.
Ran over seven miles, five Istead competitors turned up for a showery run over a variety of surfaces.
Results:
Fourth Andy Archer 40m26s; 47th Steve Cason 49m02s; 103rd Jason Beaney 53m22s; 177th Sue Beecham 60m01s; 179th Emma Penfold 60m19s.
