TORCHLIGHT 5K RESULTS

Final Torchlit 5k sees another bumper turnout

The torchlit series is fast becoming a “not to be missed” event in the winter months.  A great social gathering with a chance to gauge your current level against friendly rivals.

Again greeted with clear, dry and mild conditions, Rob Mcgrath added to his tally of victories in a time of 18:17 with an in-form Tracey Peters leading the women home in 20:53.

There was yet another healthy turnout of marshall’s to ensure safe passage and despite generator failure (still under warranty!!) all participants were accounted for at the finish line with Jon Singleton and Sarah Mcgrath crossing the line in a photo finish.

Spare a thought for the two non entrants, out for what they thought was a pioneering run across wasteland utilising their head torches, only to be met by 51 similarly clad participants heading in the opposite direction!

Thanks as always to ever present Nic and Neil without whom things would be far more chaotic than they are!

On a final note, it was perhaps appropriate Simon Tobin should take a spot prize.  That large box of sweets may be the only thing that can slow him down……I live in hope!

The bigger and better Torchlit series will return in November 2014, but in the meantime Rick will shortly announce his summer series (no head torches required!)

Thanks for your attendance

Andrew
