The Crawley A.I.M. Charity 6 & 12 hour Track Race 2013 took place April 27th with 21 runners (including 3 race walkers) setting off at 7-00 am for the 12 hours and 23 set off at 10-00 am for the 6 hours.

Weather dry, sunny or overcast but no rain. Got very windy late afternoon and (yet again) another gazebo was wrecked! It happens nearly every year as it gets so windy there.
Winner of the 12 hour race travelled all the way from Wicklow, Ireland. First lady was from Dumfries, Scotland
Winner of the 6 hour race was from Tavistock, Devon. First lady was from Tewkesbury, Gloucester.
Seems like the people that come the furthest distances do well at my event!
