Ashford Givaudan 10K Race Report and Results

The Ashford Givaudan 10K has always been a popular race with our TRACies. This race lends itself well to quick times with it starting and finishing on the running track at the Julie Rose Stadium with the rest of the run taking place on closed roads around Ashford.

 

An impressive 1190 lined up for this years race which included a very strong field of runners and no less than 10 of our own TRACies. Despite heavy downpours of rain forecasted, the race remained relatively dry with the sun making a brief appearance to warm things up little.

 

The race was won by Ashford AC’s Lewis Small in a time of 33:07. First to finish for the Thanet Roadrunners in 11th position overall was Andy Stevens in a new personal best time of 35:58.
