And from the first Shoreham Woods trail 10k on the previous day, Nicki Thompson submitted the following report:
As promised a bit of a race report from the first ever Shoreham 10k this morning. Nice early 9.30am start which I love on a Saturday. Very well marshalled with friendly volunteers. It was a challenging trail run but with some amazing views across the valley. It was a bit of a shock to the system after a summer of road running as the terrain was either rocky in places or muddy and so took a bit of getting used to. Some nice flat bits but a few of the downhills were almost too steep to go fast. Tough hills at 5km, 7km and at the finish which meant it is never going to be a pb course. Would definitely do it again. Heather came first in the ladies, not sure where Stu came yet but he did well and I managed third lady. Organised by PB Race Events and they were very good.
The SAC results were:
Pos | Name | Bib No | Time | Net Time | Gender | Age Category | Club Name |
11 | Heather Hardy | 59 | 00:48:28 | 00:48:23 | Female | LV40 | Sevenoaks Ac |
16 | Stuart Thompson | 142 | 00:51:16 | 00:51:10 | Male | Senior | Sevenoaks Ac |
26 | Nicola Thompson | 143 | 00:55:54 | 00:55:46 | Female | Lady | Sevenoaks Ac |

Keith Dowson was third M50 at the (Kent GP and Championship) Dinosaur 10k at Deal on Sunday 27th July.
Keith led home the Sevenoaks AC contingent of six finishers from which Geoff Vine had to pull out with calf trouble while leading the M60s.
Times were impressive over quite a hilly course in very hot and humid conditions.

Sevenoaks Athletics Club and the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust have agreed that the Sevenoaks 7 race, to be held on August 31st will raise money for the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust.
The Trust’s mission is to get lives on track by using world-class athletes to engage, enable and empower disadvantaged young people, and in the past 12 months has helped over 50,000 youngsters throughout the UK.
Their flagship national programme "Get on Track" is a personal development and training programme for young people aged 16-25 who are not in employment, education or training. The young people are mentored through a 5-stage programme for a minimum of 14 months by a team of world Class athletes.
The trust has delivered 3 programmes in Kent and has achieved impressive results - afterwards 84% were participating regularly in sport, 70% were in education, employment or training, 46% were regularly volunteering.
Alexandra Lines from the Dame Kelly Holmes trust said, "At a time where there are more than one million 16-25-year-olds not in education, employment or training (NEET) in the UK, our work is now more important than ever. We are delighted to be working with Sevenoaks Athletics Club to help more youngsters in Kent".
This year's race - to be held on Sunday August 31st at 10.30 am. – will raise money to support the "Get on Track" Programme in Kent. The race is being sponsored by Up & Running, and entry forms can be obtained from their store at 150 High St Sevenoaks. Alternatively forms and online entry are available here. Anyone who would like to raise extra funds for the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust can register with the Trust to become a "Dame Kelly Fundraiser". To do this, simply contact Alex Lines by email:
Race Director Duncan Warwick Champion said, "Here is a great opportunity to test your speed and strength on Knole Park's hills whilst raising money for a very good local cause. Afterwards, why not enjoy a picnic in the park, visit the historic Knole House, the largest house in England, with its 365 rooms and 52 staircases, (owned by the National Trust) or simply relax in one of Sevenoaks many pubs and restaurants".
