Race report by Ben Jones
Sunday saw the 16th running of the Rotherham Canal Race, with a record turnout of 116 runners taking part in the 5 mile out and back run along the Canal Towpath from the New York Stadium turning at Halfpenny Bridge.
3 Striders, Dawn Jackson, Stuart Jones and Ben Jones made the trip, the Jones’ returning to the New York Stadium a day after witnessing the Boro’s 3-0 trouncing of Steve Evans’ Miller Men.
Kimberworth’s Arron Larkin was the first finisher in 28:41 holding off Barnsley’s Rich Spooner and canine companion Ben Ben. First lady home was Elizabeth Champion of Kingstone in 34:31.
| P | Name | Cat | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | Ben Jones | M | 29:47 |
| 52 | Stuart Jones | M50 | 38:17 |
| 89 | Dawn Jackson | F40 | 44:23 |
A well organised, friendly race on a flat and fast route, but the absence of promised post race chip butties was noticeable!
