Larkfield 10k 2026

Seven SAC runners contested the Larkfield AC 10k at East Malling on 20th September.

The race doubled as the Kent County AA short course road race championship, which five of the runners entered. The two-lap course has proved to be quite fast, and the location and facilities are excellent.

On the day, three of the SAC contingent won medals in their age groups, with Sally Shewell second W65, Keith Dowson second M60 and Simon Hallpike third M70. The SAC results were:

Event	No	Name	Gender	Category	Status	Time	Net Time

SAC at East Peckham 10k 2026

Seven SAC runners contested the eighth running of the East Peckham 10k near Paddock Wood on 2nd August with four of them finishing first in their categories. Conditions were very hot, and with little shade and not much breeze, times were slower than sometimes. However, Jon Drake was first M50, Andrew Mead first M55, Simon Hallpike first M70 and Lionel Stielow first M75. Also, Lucy Ching was 3rd W45 and Sally Shewell 3rd W65.

The SAC results were:

SCVAC T&F 2026

Sevenoaks AC men came 2nd at the final meeting of the SCVAC T&F league 2026, a great result, even beating Tonbridge B on home turf according to the draft results (which may have missed out the discus).

 There were Div 2 victories by Jamie, only just shy of his 800 M45 club best, Rebecca over 800m W50, Oloff in 800m M50, Seb with a PB in triple jump M50 and Geoffrey in the 100m M70 (Oloff said: "Never thought it was possible to win the 100m by a country mile, but Geoffrey came close tonight.")

The mens team qualified for promotion to Div 1, this being the last match in the 2026 series, but there was a notional 'paper' play off between ourselves and Ashford AC who were potentially liable to be demoted from Division 1, and Ashford are deemed to have won this. They stay in Div 1 and we stay in Div 2.  Nevertheless a best performance for us for, I think, 20 years.

Jamie said: "Thanks for all you organising and effort Geoffrey and well done to all. A successful season despite no promotion. Medway and Maidstone are coming down so will be stiff running competition in Division 2 next year."
