Where do I begin !!
We had 32 runners, 17 personal best times, 4 age record times, 3 age best times and 4 running the distance in a new age group.
The standard was exceptional with top athletes from all the clubs on the start line which is how it should be for a County Championship race.
The highlight of the night has to be the outstanding run by 15 year old Billy Eccles. He was only 7 seconds behind dad Michael. I wonder if this will be Michael‘s last 5k as he might be caught next time !!!
Michael was first M40-44 in 15.37 and Billy was first male junior in a 48 second and diamond standard pb of 15.43.
