Gurung leads winning team
Dover Express
|May 29, 2025
EYES were on Folkestone this bank holiday as the annual 6.2 mile race hit the seafront in this flat and fast course towards the town of Hythe - and back again!
-
For Folkestone Running & Athletics Club, there were 62 members taking part.
Folkestone Running & Athletics Club took home the winning female team with Manda Gurung as second female (and top of her age category) in 41:44 as well as Kirsty Wilson and Daisy Wright (43:52) being the first women across the line.
Not only smashing her PB with a time of 41:25 but Wilson also did it on her birthday too - what a treat!
In some of other categories, Catherine O'Connor finished in 44:56 and was awarded first Vet 55 with then club-mate Deirdre Coombs coming in at 58:07 to take first female Vet 70.
Some other notable achievements from the day include Stuart Sprinks who was pleased with a new PB of 39:53 along with Ian Vousdan at 44:20 and Adam Ward in 44:52 who were both proud of their new best efforts.
