Hastings 10K - 16/1/00

Unfortunately, this race, which has become established as one of the top 10K events in the South East, clashed with the Today's Runner XC at Minnis Bay and so we had only two representatives there in the form of Vet 55s, Mike Conway and Mel Carter. Mike's time of 38:34 on the extremely testing course would have won his age category in just about any other event but the quality of the field meant that he had to settle for 2nd Vet 55. Mel put in a good effort to finish in 41:45. To illustrate the quality of the field, Kenyans Dominic Kirui and Esther Kiplagat took the first prizes in times of 29:21 and 33:43, respectively. A list of results is at the Hastings Runners website.
