The annual Kingsbury Classic 10k took place on Tuesday 7th May at Kingsbury Water Park.This is an event which has always been close to the club as we have a good relationship with the organisers and always provide the marshalls to support the event. In addition to providing the marshalls there was a strong club turn out among the runners.

Rob Mace was first home for the club in 9th overall in an impressive 37.21 mins narrowly beating Martin Hollamby who was 11th in 38.15 mins. Emma Pick crossed the line in 18th overall in a fast 39.38 mins, beating a ten year old ladies record in the process. Unfortunately for Emma someone else also beat the record and she had to settle for second lady overall. Mark Webster was next home in 41.29 ahead of Malcolm Bembridge (43.40), Matt Shaw (46.40) and Garth Cox who finished in a new personal best of 47.21 mins.
