Records Rolled In Best Ever Mucky Duck

 

 Going through Little Driffield

Pumlani Bangani receiving his award

Records Rolled In Best Ever Mucky Duck race on May 21st.

Despite muddy conditions and a headwind on sections of the route, a new course record was posted for the second successive year.

Pumlani Bangani (Salford Harriers) zapped the 8.5 mile circuit in 46 mins. 6 secs. - exactly one minute quicker then the previous quickest.

One other man broke the 50 minute mark; the promising Jonathan Carter (48:29) of Kingston-upon-Hull AC.

Living up to his promise was Driffield Striders Roger Carr, whose fifth place in 51:24 was his best ever result. "I went after Bangani early on, but I couldn't hang on to him; he was too fast," he said.

The reigning women's record holder, Karen Bexon (Goole Viking Striders) was first women home.  Her time, 57:06, was down on her previous best.

First woman back for Driffield was Zoe Porter (62:06) in her fastest ever time for the course.  It earned her the 40+ veterans trophy.

The Ladies team prize and the Mens team prize both went to Goole Viking Striders.

Fun Run

The Boys Fun Run was won by Howard Thompson, a junior Driffield Strider, and the Girls Fun run was won by Georgina Byas.
