Tara Kinder 10k

There was another strong turnout of SDRR runners at the latest Run Derby event, the Tara Kinder 10k, run over a 3 lap route on the trails around Elvaston Castle (writes Steve Leafe). There were 480 finishers, and all of our runners finished well in the top half, and Nikki Reeves won a prize for finishing 3^rd in the WV35 category, with her time of 44.47 (the same as SDRR second claim runner Mark Harriott) earning her 114^th position overall.
Stuart Halsey, who is in fine form at the moment, was first home for the club, in 39^th position, with a personal best time of 40.14. Next home for the club was Andy Orme in 51^st position in a time of 40.48, closely followed by Chris Gunstone, who ran an evenly paced race to finish in 55^th place in a time of 41.01, his best 10k time of the season. Steve Leafe, in 62^nd in 41.23 was not far behind, just ahead of Paul Chapman, who is gradually recovering his form following injury, and finished in 63^rd in 41.38.
Despite having had a heavy schedule of races, including the Rugby Half Marathon 6 days earlier,  Paul Glover, in 143^rd in a time of 46.18, and Tracey Glover in 170^th position in a time of 47.52, were both pleased with their times on another good night for the club.
