At the Kirkby Malzeard 10k Aycliffe Running club had its most successful day ever. The predicted thunderstorms thankfully didn’t arrive and instead it was just light rain which helped to keep the runners cool and resulted in half the club members achieving PBs.
After the race free refreshments were  available in the village hall during the prize giving. The prizes  were in the form of a nicely presented hamper.
Two of our athletes achieved one of these prizes, Kelly Smith for 1st female under 35, 46m:05 PB and 52nd overall and Dez Fielden for 3rd male, 35:45.
Other finishers were as follows – Martyn Knox 5th 39:00 PB, Peter Smith 28th 43:04, Nigel Holmes 35th 43:55 PB, Sandra Collins 55th 46:55, Jason Dixon 60th 47:26 PB, Gary Minns 68th 48:40, Trish Kay 75th 50:53, Penny Johnson 81st  51:27 PB, Chris Forster 87th 52:41, Michelle Dixon 91st 52:28 PB, Judith Porter 101st  54:07, Alan Kellett 102nd 54:08 PB, Anne Kellett 113th 55:28PB, Dianne Savage 128th 58:39, (first 10k), Ray Todd 133rd 60:48, Beverley Phillippo 136th 61:08, Yvonne Williams 139th 61:41 PB, Susan Clark 141st 62:16.
