Boxing Day Handicaps

There were wins for Josh McDonagh and Gary Randle on a crisp, bright Boxing Day morning in Trent Park.

There were just three entries for our junior race but all ran impressively.  Callum set a blistering time of 4:42 for the mile up and down the boulevard.

2 - 7:22 - Callum Sydenham - 4:42

Seniors (6 kilometres)

Gary Randle's strategy of saving his mince pies until Boxing Day paid off as he outwitted the handicapper Steve Nunn and stormed to a 23 second victory over Charlie White and a fast finishing Monty Wyeth.  

The fastest laps - from Jonney Yeates (22:06) and Kath Henderson (27:27) - were roundly cheered by 2 generations of their family who were rewarded for braving the cold with a couple of medals and a go on the swings.
