Sara Killey Memorial Walk results

Double Parish Walk winner Jock Waddington won the 50km Sara Killey Memorial Walk on Sunday in a time of 5 hours 2 minutes and 32 seconds.  The 46 year old covered the route over the Parish Walk course from Peel to Ramsey,which had been extended by an extra mile and a quarter from last year's 30 mile version, 32 seconds faster than in 2009.  Jock, who competes for the Isle of Man Veteran Athletes Club was only 2 minutes and 32 seconds outside the traditional national ranking standard for 50km - a considerable achievement considering the terrain of the course.

Michael George, who missed the start by a couple of minutes, briefly put Jock under pressure closing to about 600 metres at Ginger Hall, but Jock responded well to win by 10 minutes and 12 seconds.  Michael's time of 5:12:44 compares to his best of 4:49:53 set in Tilburg, The Netherlands, in October 2008.

Third place was shared by Vinny Lynch, who was only 2 seconds slower than last year, and Richard Gerrard, who was 2 minutes and 4 seconds quicker this year over the longer distance.

The women's race was close and exciting. Winner was Shirley Gage who walked from the front with Dave Taylor, taking 5:58:50 but only having 100 seconds to spare over Bernie Ball who just hung on from Maureen Moffatt who was a mere 12 seconds behind

Walkers endured cold and overcast conditions at the start followed by bright sunshine later although the leaders were greeted with rain in Andreas.

Thanks to Tony Varley for the results and Mark Hempsall for some race information. Further source thepowerof10.info
