Race Report: Derby Runner League 2025 Race 3, Denby

​Another fantastic turn out for KADS for the third DRL race of the year last Tuesday with 38 KADS coming out to run the tricky (mostly) trail course in Denby and 36 completing the run. Unfortunately, Nick was forced to retire after a nasty fall, his description of the incident was 'I was running along minding my own business when all of a sudden my face was introduced to the ground faster than I had intended.' Nick was back out running with us later in the week and is healing. Thanks to Alan as well for stopping and helping Nick get back round to the start/finish area and the medics. 

Now on to the results first home for KADS was Matt Hammond in 6th overall in a time of 26:39. Also scoring for the men's team we had Ryan Stocks (26th), Martin Lee (33rd), Rich Myers (36th), Luke Jones (39th), Robin Damion (95th) and Dom Devlin (109th). Also for the men we had Dave Hill, Dan Gooch, Steve Robinson Day, Darren Dodsley, Simon Tooth, Lloyd Andrews, Rob Gooch, Chris Laban, Sean Gilligan, Steve Sharpe, Kevin Wong, Chris Chandler, Paul Coe and Michael O'Brien. 

On the ladies side of things Helen Woods was first home for the club in 30:14, 4th lady on the night and 52nd overall. Also scoring on the ladies team we had Zoe Attenborough (Furley) (27th), Eve Taylor (28th) and Emma Meredith (Makin) (44th). As well as this we had Nicola Chamberlain, Sam Garside, Wendy Akers, Kirstie Dodsley, Emma Walker, Katie Newton, Alexis Hutchinson, Lisa Hilliard, Emily England, Karen Layton and Yvette Dean.
