Copenhagen Half Marathon, Sunday 18th September - TAC women's record from Lucy Reid !

Lucy Reid was running for an England team, whilst Alex Howard and Verity Hopkins are also racing.
Lucy has broken her Tonbridge AC record with 70.29. The previous best was 71.15 and en route she ran 33.25 for 10k which would also be a TAC record. I suspect that she was also inside the mark for 10 miles, as she went through 15k in 50.12 and 10 miles is 16.09km.
Alex finished in 66.15, taking 2.25 from his personal best and Verity ran 74.10, which improved here best by 35s.

We start the Winter season with the relatively low key Blackheath and Bromley Cross Country Relays at West Wickham, which is suitable for all ages and standards.

After that we will attend the Aldershot Road Relays on Saturday 24th September
Aldershot announced their event in the absence of the South of England Athletic Association (SEAA) having an event. The latter have announced their relays at Crystal Palace on the same day. Many of you will know that clubs have had poor experiences with SEAA events in recent years (poor results, poor cause marshalling, late cancellation, lost entries etc etc, so currently we are of a mind to support the Aldershot event.

Below is a Winter fixture list as it currently stands.

Please just complete this form as best that you can with any supporters, who wish to be involved on certain trips or helping, also completing a separate response.
