Famous Five at the Marlow 5

Only five Hillingdon AC athletes turned out for this usually popular flat, fast 5 miler that Rob Thompson managed to win last year. Many were saving themselves for the first of the Veterans track meeting at Battersea the following evening. Those that did parade the white and red of Hillingdon were James Manley finishing 11th in 29:17, Paul Hull, 22nd in 30:06, Dave Smith, 77th in 33:07, Melanie Spencer 368th in 39:41 and finally Jane Newman, 695th in a time of 46:06. There were 1130 finishers and the Hillingdon AC mens team finished 6th out of 30.
