Record Entry for Tenby 10K 2008...and
an Olympian winner!
July 2008
The fabulous weather attracted a record number of entries
for the Tenby 10K this year, with over 270 runners registering
for the race.
The event was kindly sponsored by Coastal Cottages of Pembrokeshire
who also generously provided an additional prize of weekend
breaks for the first male and femal finishers.
The race was won in 32.36 by Welsh and UK international
Justin
Chaston who ran the 3000 metre steeplechase
in the Athens, Sydney and Atlanta Olympics. Justin first represented
Wales in the World Cross Country Championships in 1987, and
in an illustrious career reached the finals of both
the European Championships and Commonwealth Games.
Now based in Colorado, Justin was on a visit to Pembrokeshire
with his family. Stacey
Chatson was first lady overall in 38.44. And to cap a perfect
morning for the family, Matt Chatson finished
second in 34.47, and was presented with the first male veteran
prize.
Congratulations to all the runners for their excellent
performances in the heat, and to the TROTs who won both the
male and female team events.
Special thanks go to Dywfor and Eve Morgan, Ann Rowell, all
the marshalls, the Mayor of Tenby, Rowland and Pat Sherwood
of Online Race Results for swiftly processing a record number
of entries on the day, Tenby Police, race sponsor Matthew Evans
of Coastal Cottages of Pembrokeshire, and Tenby Leisure Centre
for their outstanding support.
