Kent AC / BC

Richard wants you all to know about the magnificent Kent Athletics Club that sits on your doorsteps. He writes:

Kent AC, based at the Ladywell Arena, had a fantastic performance in this year's London Marathon.

John Gilbert was 16th overall, running an amazing 2hrs 16mins. John has been selected to represent Great Britain at the European Championships in August due to his amazing result.

Among a lot of other strong performances, Chris Greenwood was the first man over the line in the Forty plus category and Amy Clements dipped under three hours to lead the women's team home.

Kent won the English Athletics Team Competition for the second year in a row, which takes the cumulative time of the first three runners across the line from each club.

Kent AC train at the Ladywell Arena every Tuesday night, are a very friendly club and have training groups to suit all levels.
