On a lovely late September day, with the majority of competing athletes heading off to take part in the Windsor half marathon, seven HAC runners decided to stay within the parish and compete in the Moor Park 10km.
James Manley, Paul Hull, Pete Warburton, David Smith, Mike Dooley and Liam Holbrook appeared for the men, with Patricia Hewlett the sole HAC female athlete. With a strong showing from Metros, it was clear from the outset who the main rivals would be for the men’s team prize. Strong performances from Paul Hull (12) and Peter Warburton (25), led in by James Manley (7), and with Dave Smith (31) pushing out the fourth placed Metros runner over the final kilometre, Hillingdon AC took the men’s athletic team prize by 5 points. 15 year old Liam Holbrook, running in his first 10km race, finished third in the under 18 category, 18th overall, in a time of 40:31. Mike Dooley, was third V40 in his third competitive race since joining Hillingdon AC finishing 9th overall in a time of 37:42. Patricia Hewlett (V45) finished 556 in 1:06:30. Full results are here
