Result for the Kevin Henry 5k, 04-Aug-2016

Catherine Gough has sent the following report:

This summer I’ve been staying in Cambridge and been training with the welcoming Cambridge Triathlon club.

Kevin Henry 5k series is an interclub league run by Saffron Striders, Cambridge & Coleridge AC, Haverhill Runners, Newmarket Joggers, Ely running Club and Cambridge Triathlon Club. It is a team event with each runner adding to the clubs score. The first 6 male and first 6 female score points, with each extra club member scoring a minus point, with the aim of scoring the lowest number of points to win.

This race was in Haverhill and had a similar course to Northbrook 10k. Uphill for the first half, with one major hill, downhill for the second half. Enjoyable, but the rain made the road very slippy!
