Bodyfit 5K -Keswick AC Club Championship 2011

Below are the results from Wednesday's Bodyfit 5K. The race was number four of the six-race Keswick AC Club Road Championship 2011, and would also carry further status as the individual distance championship race for 5K.

A strong run for second place in the mens race sees Phil Winskill in a strong position in the 2011 Championship, adding his points here to those he secured finishing first KAC runner at the Keswick Half Marathon, and a second place at the Lambfoot Loop 10K back in May. However Russell Maddams should not be ruled out from retaining the trophy he won last season. He has two wins from his outings in this year's competition -at the Lancster Bridges 10K and the Lambfoot Loop 10K. The championship could well go down to the wire in an exciting climax in the Brampton to Carlisle later in the season.

Making her debut in the competition Trudy Beetham looked impressive crossing the line in 8th to claim the individual distance champs over 5K which must be her consolation, for with four races required to count for the overall Championship Beetham cannot feature this season. The title looks to be between Libbie Graham who took maximum points at the Lambfoot Loop, Sue Wilkinson and Annabel Holmes who were locked in a close battle on Wednesday night with only eight seconds separating the pair at the finish.

The two remaining races in the Road Championship come in the form of the Lancaster 5K on Saturday 27th August and the notoriously fast Brampton-Carlisle 10 on Sun 20th November, while the Club Fell Championship continues on Wednesday this week with the Blisco Dash in Langdale, and then races at the Loweswater Show (Sept 4th), and Three Shires (Sept 17th).
