Well done to all finishers at this years Sidcup 10 mile road race held on Sunday. It was an excellent turnout in 2010 with 389 finishers. Victoria Park's Paul Martelliti won the race in the fastest time seen for quite a few years of 49:15.

Here are the provisional Assembly League fixtures for the 2010 season. This is the 35th season in which the League has taken place. We will be visiting the familiar race venues with two visits to the fast and completely flat course at the Dome - although as building work in the area continues this course will remain under review.

The resheduled Kent County champs is coming up soon - Sat 13th Feb @ Detling showground. This is a great chance for the club to build on that 5th place in the South of England last weekend. This is an event we should be strongly contesting in the 6 to score and the 12 to score events! The likes of Medway, Tonbridge and Blackheath will be our main challengers, however, if people do not show then the team will go home empty handed!

It was a great Kent AC performance. Runners in every race, medals and a cup were won.

M50 Report – Race 1 - Although it might have been anticipated that the over 40’s would be challenging for medals, it was perhaps something of a surprise that our over 50’s team came away with the silver team medal on Saturday.

We completed a Hat-trick of Team Wins, in all 3 fixtures so far this season, with a demolition of the opposition on Saturday to secure our 7th win in the South of the Thames Team Championship in the last 10 years.

Kent Athletic Club AGM Calling Notice. The Annual General Meeting for 2009 will be held at.. The Goose on the Green Public House, Catford, Rushey Green opposite the theatre. On Tuesday 1st December 2009 at 8:30 pm.

The winter is just around the corner, with the smell of cross country in the air once again! Last weekend was the first race of the season in the Surrey League (and probably the last in such glorious sunshine on a flat track - golf fairway springs to mind!) which started on a good note with us have 6 in the first 7 in this 10 to score team event, and running out clear winners on the day.

As the summer season draws to a close it is time once again to turn our attention to the 6 stage road relays.

As normal we will be having the Kent AC Club 5K Track Championship prior to the Southern 6 Stage, which we will use as a selection race.

Thank you to all those who contributed to my brother's spikes appeal. I visited the village secondary school in Ghana in May and handed over approx 15 pair of spikes shoes. The headmaster held a meeting with all the teachers and l presented the shoes.
