Chris Ingram Memorial 10 k

13 August 2003

Stapleford Park lived up to its promise of providing a superb new setting for the Chris Ingram Memorial 10 k and Fun Run on Wednesday evening, and over 200 runners turned up to enjoy ideal weather conditions, a flat course, and high quality competition. The races started within the grounds of Stapleford Hall and followed tree-lined avenues, country roads, and open parkland with magnificent views of Stapleford Hall leading to the finish. The Mayor of Melton started the races, which were run in support of the mayor's Charity Appeal.

Ian Grime of Newham and Essex Beagles and Matthew Amos of Nuneaton Harriers, were in a small group of runners that broke away early on the first lap of the 10 k race. Grime eventually forged ahead on the second lap to win in a time of 32:23, with Amos close behind in 32:48. Derek Guess of Charnwood AC was third runner and first veteran home in 34:47, with Mark Rose of Shepshed RC fourth in 35:26, Stilton Strider Chris Southam fifth in 35:35, and Craig Sabin of Huncote Harriers sixth in 36:09.

In the ladies' section, Tara Krzywicki of Charnwood AC moved ahead of Huncote Harrier's Nicki Nealon early in the race. By the start of the second lap, Krzywicki had opened up an unassailable lead and went on to win in a time of 36:47, with Nealon second (and first veteran) in 38:10. Vicky Hards was third in 39:59 with Sandra Grimes of OWLS AC fourth in 42:41.

Event organisers Stilton Striders turned out in force for the race and were rewarded with victory in both the men's (Chris Southam, Mick Stevens, Tim Hicks, and Darren Glover) and ladies' (Nicola Roland, Gail Warner, and Vicki Lowe) team events.

For their efforts, the 10 k race winners will each enjoy a stay at Stapleford Park Hotel, courtesy of race sponsor Thomas Hannah Associates, while the first veterans will have the pleasure of chauffeur driven Mercedes for a day. All 10 k and fun runners received race t-shirts at the finish, and their numbers were placed in a draw for a prize of a weekend for two in Rome. Carl Rutt of Desford Striders, who finished the 10 k race in 76th place in 45:51, was the lucky winner. Kevin Ingram of Thomas Hannah Associates and his mother presented the prizes in memory of Kevin's brother Chris. Kevin also found time to run the 10 k race, finishing 90th in 47:40.

We would welcome any feedback on the new race venue and course. Email: stilton-striders@supanet.com.
