Over 600 runners competed in the 14th staging of the Baileys Nissan Whitstable 10K road race organised by Canterbury Harriers on Monday May Bank Holiday morning. In sunny and warm conditions, with only light winds along the Tankerton and Hampton promenade sections, 29 athletes dipped under 40 minutes.
Marathons have a mystery to them. Almost like quantum Mechanics, it seems that strange unpredictable things can happen, despite 16 weeks and 600 miles of training.
With winter a distant memory the exploits in the mud and cold of the last cross country season were celebrated in style at the club’s presentation evening held on 21st April.
Dave Lee is delighted with the £900 cheque for his children’s charity, now only about £30K short of £2million donated, which is used to send sick and underprivileged children on holiday.
A brilliant run by Sarah finishing in 12th place overall, taking the prize for 1st lady and together with Barbara and Helen giving Harriers the 1st Ladies Team prize
A big turnout from the Harriers with some excellent times over a very challenging course

Congratulations to all 20 of our runners in this years London Marathon with some brilliant times. Congratulations to the debutants and to Wendy on her PB on her birthday! But pride of place must go to the stunning performances by Sarah, ten minutes inside the elite time and bettering her previous PB by over 8 minutes! And Barbara on her PB and at FV52 only 4 minutes outside the womens elite time! And well done to Joe completing his 16th consecutive London Marathon and 17th in total.
