Five Sevenoaks runners took part in the Kent Coastal Marathon on 6th September. It was a lovely and sunny day but there was a strong head wind which made the course even more challenging.
Andy Ashlee was the first Sevenoaks runner home in 8th position overall followed by James Graham in 9th and Dan Witt 22nd. James won M60 for the race and Sevenoaks AC (Andy, James & Dan) the overall team prize.
The race was also a Kent Championship race and Andy won the M40, James the M60 and SAC also won the Championship team prize.
Jim Fitzmaurice was 3rd M70 in the race, which was also the SCVAC championships, and there was a rare guest appearance by ultra-runner Rob Carr.
