The near perfect running conditions tempted 14 Jaguars  to the first  of this annual 3 race series and once again an excellent set of results saw the club record broken by Mark Haynes, and another category win for Colin Robilliard. Jon Howe and Steve Ely in their first race for the club at this distance finished within seconds of each other with diamond and silver standards respectively and everyone seems to be reaping the benefits of their hard training as 7 runners completed the course in 20 minutes or under and 5 recorded personal bests. The closest battle of the day was between Ady Jay and Mel Porter who were neck and neck until the finish. Ady took this particular battle by 3 seconds to record his first ever gold standard. Although the 5k is short and very painful, all who took part were extremely grateful to the roadside encouragement from the other club members who turned up en masse to offer their support. The second race in the series is on the 23rd of June.                 Full Results   Photos
