In perfect race conditions 210 runners came, saw and conquered the Battersea Park 5K Self Transcendence course. Alex Milne stormed in to win the race in 15.06 with Amy Aronson winning the Ladies race in 18.24. There was an excellent turn out in the Vet categories and a very big congratulations goes to Edwin Bartlett who turned 70 on the day of the race. Edwin has attended all our races as far back as we can remember!
Our celebrity prize-giver this week was Prachar Stegemann - who has come all the way from Canberra, Australia. As well as being an accomplished athlete himself, he is also the Director of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in Australia, who have also been putting on a plethora of races for over 3 decades. A big thank you, Prachar!
There is a 10K this coming Saturday 2nd August at 8am. Next week we have our final Monday night race of the season - the relay (Monday 4th August 7pm). We hope to see you all there.
