Derby Ramathon

Shane sets the pace!!!
In very warm running conditions ten members from the Club lined up with almost 1500 others in the re-launched Derby Ramathon . Shane Chapman led the way over the 13.1 miles with a superb 54^th place finish in 1.27.51 with Louise Insley two places behind in 1.28.15. Louise had the well earned consolation of securing the 3^rd prize in the women’s race. Paul Chapman & Stuart Halsey both also secured excellent top 100 finishes in 70^th & 91^st places in times of 1.30.43 & 1.33.01 respectively. MV60 Ray Mortlock was next across the line with a terrific age related performance of 1.43.53 in 255^th place followed by Andy Orme in 1.47.26 & 327^th place. Wayne Kelleher, who has completed two spring marathons in a very busy season to date, battled well for 1.50.57 followed by Cheryl Bell, in what was probably the performance of the day, in 1.53.47 & 481^st place overall. Maria Allen, making her debut over the classic distance, ran well for 2.19.32 with the battling Cath Johnson completing the finishers for the club in 2.56.04.
