Kent Christmas Cracker 2014

A mixture of serious athletes and fun runners donned assorted festive outfits for the annual Christmas Cracker, which this year saw a record field of over 200 taking part.  The light was challenging, as it always seems to be for this race.

Windy and very grey day, but the rain pretty much held off.  170 runners completed the race, which was won by Phil Hurst in the extremely fast time of 24min 26sec.

Deal Half Marathon 2014

After snow stopped play in 2012 and bitter cold blighted the 2013 race, this year's Deal Half Marathon saw plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures.  Anthony Jackson of Sittingbourne Striders came in more than five minutes ahead of the second placed runner.

It was bitterly cold and grey.  Many of the runners wore jackets!  'Nuff said ;)

Deal 5 Miler 2012

The weather was shocking for this race.  Heavy rain and a howling wind greeted the competitors and others mad enough to be spectating. A large contingent from the Belgian athletics club WALO took part and probably wondered what had hit them ;)
