Posted by Brian and Viv at 12:45 pmSouth London Harriers had the first nine finishers in the June running of their popular Near-as-Damn-It 10k trail races.
Chris Phelan (v40 runner) and Matt Chapman (a recent SLH signing) were fighting it out shoulder to shoulder for most of the race and it was only in the last ½ mile that Phelan was able to pull away to claim his first Near-as-Damn-It victory (and 1st mv40) in a time of 36.47 with Chapman 11 seconds behind.
