2010 Colchester
The route of the Colchester 100 (in support of the “Help for Heroes” charity) incorporated a sharp incline within Castle Park making the route even more difficult.
Out of the 25 who started, 4 completed 100 miles for the first time and became Centurions, including the Spanish walker Jose-Mora Bernardo, a previous Paris-Colmar race competitor.
The race was won by Sandra Brown C36 in 20:23:30, G. Heunks C1068 R.W.V. Holland was 2nd in 20:57:37 and 3rd was F. van der Gulik, LAT in 21:11:41.
Once again, Vice-Captain Piet Jensens C389 brought a contingent of European competitors to our event of whom the R.W.V. Holland were the winning team.
Chris Flint C849 completed his 20th UK 100 and became the third person to have his name inscribed on the Fred Baker Plate. After the walk he still had sufficient energy and drive to organise the presentation of the prizes.
