Posted by Will at 1:56 pm

South London Harriers’ Stuart Major and Jason Simpson locked horns in a battle to the finish in last Thursday’s Near as Dammit 10k Trail Race, hosted by SLH. Stuart led from the race start, but with Jason tracking within striking distance a few metres behind. Stuart’s determination to hold off his clubmate won through and he finished the race in 33.36 with Jason only 4 seconds behind.

SLH went on to take the next seven places with Francis Staunton 3rd in 37.04, Chris Phelan 4th (and 1st v40) in 37.54, Jim Burdett 5th in 38.17, Dave Ogden 6th (2nd v40) in 38.34, Mike Airey 7th (3rd v40) in 38.54, Ian Kitchin 8th (1st v50) in 38.52 and Paul Mitchell 9th in 39.51.

1st woman and 1st wv35 was SLH’s Ruth Hutton in 43.01, Phyllis Flynn of Stragglers was 2nd and 2nd wv35 in 43.08 and Pippa Major (SLH) was 3rd and 3rd wv35 in 43.02. Full results here.

This race series offers an informal but demanding race ideal for those looking to try out their race fitness, and for this occasion it attracted 57 runners of all abilities. The next ‘Near as Dammit’ race is scheduled for Thursday 27 July. Anyone interested in taking part should register at the SLH clubhouse, 194a Brighton Road, Coulsdon by 6.45pm. The cost for race entry is £2.50.
