BENFLEET 15

21 Trotters braved the winds to complete the Benfleet 15 miler on a slightly altered course due to the new headquarters. Mark Read was the 1st Trotter home in an excellent 8th position. Alan Butler was an easy winner of the vet 50's section and Corina Holmes and Jodie Timbrell finished 11th and 17th in the womens category. Both Trotter men and women finished 3rd behind very strong Springfield Strider winning teams.

 I'll endeavour to uncover as many Trotter results as possible every weekend and mid week races too. This will mainly be in the Essex area, but if I get info ie word of mouth, through the forum or e-mail  of other events going on involving Trotters, British or world wide then they will be included.

 Thanks   John Barker
