Heather Fitzmaurice was third and first W45 at the Eridge 10 on 1st September.
While the race preferences of Sevenoaks AC runners were split between this race and the Weald 10k, the lure of beer and cake afterwards was the determining factor for some of our athletes.
John Witton led the fourteen SAC runners home in a brilliant 10th place, closely followed by Ed Saunders in 15th and Andrew Hutchinson in 16th.
