Hastings Marathon race summary PDF Print E-mail
Written by Andrew Cubison   

On a perfect day for road racing, Hastings was the focal attention of the world for the 100th Anniversary Marathon.
Great weather, fantastic crowds, organisation and support, all made it a great success.
The battle at the front between Baker, Mountcastle, Rendall and Anderson wasfascinating, with Baker making the early pace. In the second half of the
race Anderson broke away to lead by what looked like a winning move, but hehit the wall at 22 miles, and Rendall, the more experienced athlete gradually pulled him in to win in the last two miles.
The biggest winner of all was Hastings, the running capital of the south. There were 1154 finishers, with no reports of bad injuries. A group of runners decided to pull out at the 16 mile point at Sidley, and stayed in the New Inn pub for the rest of the afternoon.
The last finisher was plucky Patricia Lelliott from Bexhill, who finished in 7 hours and 35 minutes, in memory of her grandaughter, Chloe.
John Bryant, author of 'Marathon Makers', dressed in his Dorando Petrie attire,had his glass of Chianti at the Azur restaurant at the 25 mile mark, served in style by a waiter.
