Where do I start KEITH GERRARD AWESOME?

English champion

I never in a million years thought after taking Keith to his first UK County Championship in 2001 in Nottingham as a raw 14 year old I would see him or any other Manx runner return years later and win the Senior Title. It was an incredible display. That surge up the short rise took 15 seconds out of the chasing pack in only a 1000 metres my heart was pumping then it looked like the second and third runners were closing the gap but no just the TV camera angle. Keith won by 9 seconds completing the domestic double, (UK and English Championships) After running a leg of the 6 stage relay he will return to America and prepare for the Track season, if all goes well we could see him again in a few top class 10,000 metre races. I must also mention Kevin Lounds who I also caught a glimpse of in the TV footage he finished in 44^th place which over the last thirty years would have been the outstanding performance of the race but for Keith. You also have to look at the Astin girls performances they could and should be up there in the next couple of years even Oliver Lockley is performing to a very high standard.

Hi Folks

I will start shortly on repairing and updating the Great South Run Series pages, this year will see the return of the three rounds, one of which is the Northern 10K in Ramsey. Also I have been asked by Manx Cancer help to organise a fun run rather than do a separate event. I have included it in the Bushy’s series with the David Teece Memorial 5K it’s called a Marathong to bring awareness to Men of the possibility of cancer if they don’t take note of the early signs which in many cases can be cured. During the summer months I will update the Island Games pages and the Photo’s contained within the site.
