Great Yarmouth 5 mile. 3rd and final race in series May 2017
What a warm one it turned out to be for the last in the Yarmouth 5 mile series so it was a pleasure to be spectating rather than running. Carl Goose finished in 3rd place overall in 26.39. He certainly put up a good battle with the two leaders. Sam Coyne was 5th and took the second senior men’s trophy…

Norfolk County Track Championships 13/14th May 2017
Sam Coyne had an outstanding run in the 1 mile finishing 2nd senior man in a time of 4.49.5. This was Sam’s first time on the track and he paced it exactly right. I expect he will have stiff legs in the morning for the 5000m but he’ll have 12.5 laps to loosen up!! The 5000 metres the following day…
