Ilford AC Walking Section Report – 28/04/2013
Apr 282013
ROUND-AND-ROUND FOR 12 HOURS
The annual Crawley Track 12 Hours, which although mainly attracts runners,
always lures race walkers to it’s starting line at 7am on Saturday. It meant
rising at 3.30am for Ilford’s intrepid duo!
20 faced the starter (from a record 31 entries) and Steve Allen claimed 8th
place by covering 54 miles. Despite a few twinges, Olly Browne was 10th having
accounted for 52 miles. Both were expertly attended to by Browne’s son Angus,
an experience helper at ultra-distance events. It was a cold, wet and windy day
at Crawley’s K2 Leisure Centre Track – indeed 2 gazebos were wrecked, though
thankfully nobody was injured.
