RESULTS – The Lichfield Half-Marathon May 2015

You can see the full Results of the Lichfield Half-Marathon May 2015 here on STUWEB.

MISSEN’S MISSION FULFILLED

The 5th annual Lichfield Half Marathon sponsored by Running Form and Virgin Holidays was won by Matthew Missen (Birchfield Harriers) from Lichfield, winning comfortably in a time of 1:14:13.

The day opened up rainy and windy but finally dried up almost exactly as the race started. 1200 starters set off from Lichfield towards neighbouring village Whittington. Matthew Missen and James Trollop (Lichfield Running Club) vied for the lead before eventually pulling away at around 8 miles and never looked back.

Matthew said: “Great to win in Lichfield and with the Cathedral in view from 3 miles out or so. I felt this kept me going and gave mean extra incentive to win the race, the last 3 miles were tough but I kept going and the massive crowd at the finish was fantastic!”

Second home was Richard Powell of West Bromwich Harriers in 1:16:40 with Stuart Lumsden of Northbrook AC in third at 1:20:23. First female home was Mel Woodward of Sutton Coldfield AC in 1:22:29, with Hannah Howard of Eastleigh Running Club second in 1:23:39, and Sarah Dauncey third in 1:30:35.

TROLLOPE REPEATS FRADLEY 10K TRIUMPH

Lichfield athlete and Lichfield Running Club member James Trollope repeated his 2011 win at today’s Florette Fradley 10k (picture top left). A near 1,000 strong field braved the cold but dry conditions and Trollope immediately headed the pack from the gun and swooped home in an excellent time of 32:20, slower than his 2011 time of 30:50, followed home by Matthew Missen in 33:11 with Aaron Brown (Cannock and Stafford AC) 3rd home in 33:14.

First female home was Kim Fawke-Williams of Centurion RC (pictured top right) in a fast time of 35:53 which saw her finish a commendable 12th overall, 2nd female was Joanna Simpson (Team Florette) in 36:38 and 3rd was Linda Howell (Bournville Harriers) in 39:14

A feature for the event this year was a contingent of over 20 runners from sponsors Florette and their Team Florette (pictured below centre) with Chadi Amoun finishing overall 11th and Joanna Simpson finishing 2nd female home; showing real commitment from a sponsor’s team.

Kevin Wilson of organisers KP Events was delighted with the outcome on the day: “There was a fantastic turnout today, a really big number of runners on a cold day and friendly atmosphere being created, well done to everyone involved and massive congratulations to Team Florette!”
