Rayleigh 10

The Rayleigh 10k is a multi terrain, hilly course, through Hockley Woods in Essex.

The recent dry spell meant the ground was firm but some long hills and the heat on the day made for tough conditions for the 400 runners, including 2 from Ilford AC.
Billy Green came home in 55 mins 54 secs whilst Sharon Honey made a welcome return to competitive racing for the club, coming home in 72 mins 13 secs

Battersea Park 5k

It was a busy week for Anna, who completed the Edinburgh Half Marathon the previous week in a time of 1 hr 57 mins 52 secs
