Diet Coke EK Half Marathon and 10k

The annual Diet Coke EK Half Marathon & 10K took place on Sunday 21^st June with over 1800 combined runners taking part on the races 10^th anniversary. A handful of Harriers put their Monday & Thursday training into action by producing some good times. First over the line in the 10K was Jamie McMonagle (38:25) followed by Stephen Phimster (39:39, a pb by 8 seconds), Jamie Wood (40:20, 1st Junior), Brian McDougall (40:41 pb and 4 or 5 minutes faster than last year) and Jennifer Fegan (65:01). For the Half Marathon we had Stuart Waugh (1:28:55 and 1st M60), Jim Holmes (1:32:11), Graham Lindsay (1:34:09) and Richard Lawton (1:49:19). Stuart's time gives him a fantastic gold M60 performance standard. This was Richard’s debut at this distance and he was targeting for under 1h 50mins result so the time help end the experience on a up and set a good first time to improve on. Thank you to all the other Harriers who were dotted about the course cheering us all on and at the finish line in the stadium.

Thanks to Richard for the report and well done to all.
