The Larkfield 10K course once again proved to be a favourite with Tunbridge Wells Harriers with a third of the Harriers entries running Personal Best or Age Group Best times.
The Race, which was hosting the Kent Championships, started in near perfect conditions although as the breeze increased and the temperature rose conditions became more testing. At the front of the race Rob Jackaman of Cambridge Harriers took the lead from the start and although pushed near the end held off his nearest challenger to win by fifteen seconds in 32mins 50 seconds. For Tunbridge Wells Harriers Andy Howey continued in the form he has shown so far this year by winning the M50 category in a time of 35:39, therefore retaining his Kent M50 title. Finishing close behind were Stuart Shields (36:25) and Mark Gamage (37:48 Personal Best) enabling the Harriers to take 2nd Team prize in the Kent Championships. Maria Heslop of Paddock Wood took the ladies title in a time of 36:50 while the three leading Tunbridge Wells Harrier ladies, Pru Clements, Sally Burton and Jillian Holford all ran Age Group or Personal Bests to secure 3rd place in the ladies team event.
A little further down the field Eric Schofield put the disappointment of not being able to finish a race last weekend by smashing his own Club M75 Club Record completing the course in 52:47.
The finishing times for all Harriers:-
Andy Howey 35:39
Stuart Shields 36:25
Mark Gamage 37:48 (Personal Best)
Terry Everest 38:05
Matt Clements 39:04
Mark Carroll 39:35
