Jack Fitzgerald Memorial Walks
21 September 2013
Veterans AC 10.325km road and supporting races
Tilgate Park, Crawley
Veterans AC were pleased to have the largest field for
some time on a lakeside course once used as the test bed for Britain's water
speed record round scenic Campbell's lake.
Conditions were ideal being overcast, mild and
windless. Surrey Walking Club had six out of the 15 in the main race. Recent
British Masters record breaker Ian Richards of Steyning had a comfortable
win, with Portuguese international Francisco Reis of Ilford AC and Trevor
Jones of Steyning AC doing battle for second and third place respectively.
There were six ladies over all distances, Steyning AC's triathlete Joan
Lennon had a really good race coming just inside the hour. Jack Fitzgerald
had been a member of SWC for about twenty years, and was a key figure and
founder member of Veterans clubs, it is hoped that this dedicated race will
be an enduring legacy.
