We experimented with the timings and location this year. We started at the Mary Fletcher Pavilion on the playing field and finished as the St. Mary’s Church Fête was starting. It seemed to work well but the race felt a little divorced from the fête as a result so next year I think the finish has to be in the grounds of Childrey Manor.
Due to the limited responses to the 5k we knocked that on the head for this year. Roger was the only entrant and he ran the 10k instead so the organising committee (me) made the decision to award him the 5k winners cup and record him and the inaugural winner.
After an easy romp home for Dominic in the mens race and a blistering, finish-line sprint between the two Karens in the ladies the final results were as follows:
- Childrey 10k 2014 men’s winner: Dominic Lamb (00:44:00)
- Childrey 10k 2014 women’s winner: Karen Kidd (01:06:59)
- Childrey 5k 2014 winner: Roger Miners (honorary win)
This got me thinking about our Hall of Fame. After an initial panic that I didn’t have all the results, I managed to piece it together. I’m thinking that next year we might start a shield for each of the races for the winner to keep until the next race. Comments below please.
