James Davis stormed to victory in Sunday’s Kent Christmas Cracker 5 mile race at Fowlmead Country Park on Sunday morning. The Invicta East Kent Runner covered the traffic-free course in 27 minutes and 40 seconds to win by almost two minutes. Essex runner Scott Tilson was second, while Deal Tri's Jason Read was third.
Jill Cliff, from Deal Tri was first lady home in 31.04, with Victoria Talbot-Rosner (Invicta East Kent) second and Lindsey Shing (Sevenoaks AC) third. Deal Tri scooped both the Men’s and Ladies team titles.
Over 130 entries were received for this inaugural event at Fowlmead organised by Diligence sister company, Nice Work. The company has confirmed that the event will return in 2008. The race was organised to raise funds for Martha Trust who provide care for profoundly disabled young adults at two residential homes near Deal.
The Christmas spirit – and Christmas Puds! - were in plentiful supply for runners taking part in both the main race and the Children’s 1 Mile Santa Dash – and there was also a warming glass of punch and mince pie on hand for finishers on a bright, sunny, but bitterly cold morning.
