JERSEY MARATHON Sunday Sept 27^th

Hennessy & Prosser conquer the distance

Well done to Andy Hennessy and Clare Prosser for great runs at the full marathon on Jersey on Sept 27^th.

Hennesey went again for the 3^rd year in succession looking for his hat-trick of victories but had to settle for 3^rd place this time in, a slow for him, time of 2.47. He was a minute down on the 2^nd place and 14 minutes down on Joseph Kibunja who turned up to run in 2.31.

Meanwhile, Prosser followed up her recent 89 minute half at Cheltenham with a great marathon debut in 3.09 for 5^th place amongst the women (22^nd overall). That’s a great time and will be good enough to earn her a start at London marathon

Andy was due to run in the Senior Men’s team at the South of England Road Relays at Aldershot the same day but couldn’t find a helicopter to get him form one race to the next in time!
