Further afield 2 of Ilford’s top endurance athletes competed in the Bramley 20 mile event which was hosted by Reading Roadrunners with an acompanying 10mile race on Sunday. Malcolm Muir finished 9th overall and 2nd vet 40 over a 2 lap course finishing in a time of 1.55.00 . After running the 1st half in a steady 58.50 he then raced the 2nd half in 56.10 for a significant negative split. Ben Jones came 85th in 2.14.32 which was more than impressive as he has not been able to do any long distance training for the race .

As usual this is being held as an “Open” event with runners from other Clubs more than welcome to participate. Entries will be on the day from the Chigwell Row Clubhouse.
