Team Kennet

ADP HIGHCLERE 10K SUNDAY 27th SEPTEMBER

 We had near perfect conditions for the recent ADP Highclere 10K on Sunday September 27th.

It was an interesting and varied course ( though quite undulating) around the beautiful grounds of Highclere Castle; some of the race was on roads and tracks and some was cross country.

Congratulations to Rachel Elliott who won the ladies race in an excellent time of 39:48.

There were six Team Kennet athletes taking part and the first one home was Guy Watts in 5th place overall in a very fast time of 37:45. Tom Milburn (18th) finished not far behind in 39.33 followed by Lee Jones (38th) in a PB of 43:19.

Colin Price and Jenny Eaton did well in the vets categories with Colin coming in 10th in his category in 47:34 and Jenny 5th in hers in a time of 47:01.

There was also a 1500m Junior Fun Run and our two junior athletes both ran extremely well. 10 year old Jordan Hole finished 2nd in the U12 Boys in 7:53 and Chloe Jones age 9 finished 2nd in the U10 Girls race in 9:35.

Well done to everyone who competed and I would definitely recommend this event to anyone thinking of having a go next year.
