WALKS

96th ENFIELD WALK, November 12

In clear skies and sunshine, although on the chilly side, there was a start line quiet time of reflection for the fallen in the service of their country and the passing of the much respected Leaguer Noel Blatchford who died in Italy shortly after winning a European Masters W75 silver medal in Pescara in the 5000m walk.

Appropriately, as history was made with women dominating, Grazia Manzotti, who herself won two golds and a silver in Italy, became the first woman in the long history of the event (this was the 96th edition) to win the overall race, which she did in convincing fashion.

Additionally four other women crossed the finishing line before Mark Culshaw took the mens title though multi world walks champion and M75 Ian Richards did go faster than Culshaw in the less restrictive category B standard.

1W Grazia Manzotti Tonbridge AC 64:30 W50
