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.

All set for a Christmas Cracker
Runners from all over the south east – and some from even further afield - will be descending upon Fowlmead Country Park in Sholden, near Deal on Sunday for the second running of the Kent Christmas Cracker.
Advance entries for the charity road running race to raise funds for Martha Trust indicate that around 200 runners of all ages will be descending upon the Park for the event.
The race is organised to raise money for Martha Trust by Diligence Media and Marketing via their specialist road running sister company Nice Work. Race Director Martin Burke is anticipating a good humoured day with festive fun a priority: "In addition to medals for all finishers, each particpant will collect a Christmas Pudding when they finish - and there will be mulled wine and mince pies for everybody too. We’ve attracted a great entry already – but there will still be spaces available for those who want to sign up on the day”
The 5 mile race is over a flat, traffic-free course utlising the purpose-built cycle road in the park. The race starts at 10.30 am with a Children's Race taking place at 10.15.
In addition to the Kent Christmas Cracker, the company is organising the Christmas Pudding Dash on December 22nd, which has already attracted almost 350 runners, the Lydd Half Marathon on March 9th and the Rye Summer Series in the summer of 2008.

Air Ambulance at the click of a button
The three Air Ambulance services in the south east have just re-launched their on-line presence with an exciting new web site.The three sites, for Kent Air Ambulance, Surrey Air Ambulance and Sussex Air Ambulance were conceived, developed and constructed by Diligence Media and Marketing. The sites are more user friendly and contain new interactive features, information, photographs and videos of the life saving helicopters they use.
New features include ‘real life’ stories from people who have been carried by the Air Ambulance, a virtual tour of the helicopter that allows the public to see the cockpit and cabin and cutaway views of the aircraft. There is also a new flying time map than enables viewers to find out how long it takes the helicopters to fly from their bases to various locations within their respective counties.
James Marchant, Creative Director at Diligence said ‘This is a really exciting development. It has taken us some six months to get it right but we believe that we have come up with a web site which is both informative and fun. It enables the people within Kent, Surrey and Sussex who so generously support the charity to be able to keep up to date with news from their Air Ambulance service.’
Diligence Media and Marketing was formed in November 2007 following the merger of two well known local marketing and design companies, Pixel Puppet and Peasmarsh-based Nice Work.

Note to Editors (1):
The Air Ambulance service in Kent, Surrey and Sussex costs around £3 million annually to stay airborne. Receiving no funds from the government or the National Lottery the charity is entirely dependent upon the generosity of the public to support the two helicopters, based at Marden and Dunsfold.
