26 members and 2 guests joined us for the last of the Summer Duathlon Series and of course our Club Handicap Champs at Betteshanger Park, where it is fair to say we have had throughout the series fabulous weather to race in…
Congratulation to Marika Landy for taking the title for the 2nd consecutive year in 01:19:07 which was round 6minutes faster than her 2025 time. Also, congratulations to both Pete Hogben and Jill Cliff who are our Summer Duathlon Series winners and it will be no surprise Pete was 1st overall to finish last night in 00:44:27 and Jill was 2nd overall in 00:53:55 (which was her fastest time of the season)
