Yet another Club Record went in 2011 as a superb run from James Connor produced a time of 2 hrs 18 min 30sec in the Frankfurt Marathon. It was held in chilly but windless conditions and the meticulous planning in his preparation paid off as he went through halfway spot on his target of 68 min 35 sec. He then kept recording metronomic 5km splits all the way to 35km and only faltered in the last 7 km where he fought hard to only lose 1 min.

This caps a fantastic season for one of Kent AC’s true club men to go with becoming the club’s first ever winner of all 4 British League A strings in one event in a season. Having just taken another 3.5 mins off his previous PB in the Marathon he is now well on course to represent GB or England in one of the future Major Games.
