Club Championship – Petts Wood & Cross Country
Posted by Nolan in Cross Country, Grand Prix, Races & Reports on October 10th, 2011
Petts Wood 10k
For the second GP in a row, Jim finished in another impressive 2nd place, however the burning question on everyone’s lips, who was Stuart Slot? It seems abit of a misunderstanding meant that the men’s team prize slipped from under our noses thanks to registration problems. You win some you lose some. But in any case the ladies had a good turn out and won the women’s team prize with Helen maintaining her good form and finishing in 5th and 1st V45. Club Championship age grading results will be announced at the Christmas Dinner! Results
Kent League Cross Country Race 1.
Due to the ladies and most of the men, saving themselves for Sundays club championship at Petts Wood, there was a poor turnout for the 1st Kent League XC race in Swanley. But at least we were able to field a 4 man mens team. The course was fairly tame for a cross country race, ie pretty flat with no mud. The standard was very high so a 16th place for Chris Minns was a good run. Next up is the slightly more challenging hills of Tonbridge on the 29/10/11. Results
Grand Prix: Switchback 5
Posted by Nolan in Grand Prix, Races & Reports on September 28th, 2011

Dulwich 5k 2011
Posted by Nolan in Grand Prix on June 24th, 2011
31 Beckenham Runners made the trip over the hill to Dulwich Park to take part in our neighbours 5k mid (still to get going) summer race. Some strong performances on the night meant that our runners collected a number of the prizes available. After a close fight for 2nd, Jim Addison managed 3rd in 16:45 after being out sprinted near the end by Mark Penny. 1st MV40 went to Stuart Scott who managed to hold on to finish in 17:48 after an over over exuberant start. Kate collected the 1st LV40 prize after a solid run of 21:37. Gail completed the individual winners haul by taking the LV50 cat in 22:01. And finally for the 3rd year in a row, Beckenham (Jim, Nolan & Stuart) won the mens team prize prize!
Don’t forget the next grand prix race is the Orpington 10k on the 3/7

Posted by Nolan in Grand Prix, Races & Reports on May 23rd, 2011
Well done to all who raced at the Myra Garrett 10k in Danson Park yesterday. Results are here
The top of the premier league has an ‘Old Skool’ feel to it as Stuart gains top GP points for the 2nd race in a row, followed by Craig.
Mel was again 1st lady home in 4th winning the 3rd place prize I believe, while Gail was 1st V45.
The mens team of Stuart, Craig, Ally and Simon won the team prize for the 2nd race in a row. Although I didn’t run, I did get to take pictures of people at their finest…click on Helen below to see more.

Darent Valley 10k
Posted by Nolan in Grand Prix on April 11th, 2011
It was a beautiful spring morning in the idyllic setting of Eynsford, where Beckenham took part again in the Darent Valley 10k. It’s an up and down course as you’d expect with the name “valley” in the race title, but what goes up must come down as the course descends back into Eynsford for a fast and furious final mile (if your legs survived the steep hill at 7k that is!)
We’re now deep into marathon season, so with a fair number of folks not “racing” properly, or not at all as they save themselves for an impending 26.2 miler, the numbers were down abit but some great results produced Darent Valley Results
But congratulations for the following roll of honour.
2nd lady, Mel Burdett
1st V55, Ruth Bunn
1st Team, Beckenham (7 men, 3 ladies)
Stuart Scott
Craig Williamson
Nolan Wilkens
Will Withecombe
Ed Osbourne
Richard Selway
Ben Calascione
Mel Burdett
Kate Marchant
Georgina Selway
