Full Results. Well done A and B team for a great weekend…C’MON BECKENHAM!!
Ted Pepper 10k, 2010
Posted by Admin2 in Beckenham Photo's, Grand Prix, Races & Reports on May 3rd, 2010
The Beckenham Grand Prix road show rolled into Langley Park on Bank Holiday Monday for the Ted Pepper 10k. An impressive turn out saw around 26 maroon vests (actually that should be 25, and Wills only clean blue T shirt) taking on the fast 3 lap course. Many congratulations to Chris Minns who won the men’s race in 33:52 ensuring that a Beckenham runners name is inscribed on to the Edward Pepper Memorial trophy for another year. Even with some people absent there were still 7 men under 40 minutes. Not bad eh?
The other most important prize of the day was the prestigious ‘Marshalls Award’, which was won by Nicky (not sure what she did /promised the marshalls) but congratulations all the same!

London Marathon 2010
Posted by Admin2 in Everything Else, Races & Reports on April 26th, 2010
Wow what a day, surely the best set of results recorded by the club ever!
Following a week of talk about Ash and hot temperatures, this years marathon was run in near perfect conditions and produced some outstanding performances. After trailing Jim for most of the race Marc in his first marathon led home the men in a debut time of 2:43:58, closely followed by Jim in 2:44:25 who now qualifies for a Championship start next year.
Simon came in next smashing his PB to record 3:03 and surely a sub 3 beckons in Berlin. After a difficult 2nd half after getting to half way at sub 3 pace, Craig followed closely clocking 3:04. Tom, after a difficult week stuck in Madrid (probably sunbathing), sneaked inside the Good For Age time in 3:14:11, well done sir.
Next in was Kate, leading home the ladies in an impressive 3:23:53 not quite beating Sophie’s time of last year tho…gutted! But brilliant none the less.
Then a flurry of runners, Smalls, Ameet, Nicky, Theunis, Georgina and Mel W ran steady races to beat the 4hour mark, with Gillian just missing itwith a 4:05.
Congratulations all rest up and recover well, Ted Peppers in a weeks time 
Edit: Added in Paul who wasn’t down as Beckenham… tut tut.

The latest Beckenham Grand Prix race took in the the picturesque race the Swanley & Districts, Darent Valley 10k. The main results are here Darent Valley 10k results, and Team results are here won by Beckenham.

I also tried my hand at taking photos with varing success so sorry to those missed….just click on the image below.

Malta Half – A clean sweep of the “second lady vets” award(s)
Posted by Site Admin in Everything Else, Races & Reports on March 1st, 2010
Congratulations Mel for getting second lady Vet in the 1,400 strong malta half marathon in testing ( e.g. lovely and hot ) conditions.
I would post a link to the results here, but there is a delay, which may, or may not, and Im only saying “may” be caused by the lead car taking the front four runners off the course, and then only getting two of them back again!
Well done Kate
Posted by Site Admin in Everything Else, Races & Reports on December 29th, 2009
On pain of pain, I have promised to big up Kate’s achievements at the Wheaton Aston 10k – first female vet and 9th chick overall.
WELL DONE KATE
Maybe kate you would like to dazzle us with a race report?
