Blenheim 10km, 15/10/06

Brother and sister duo Jason Draper and Lisa Kane travelled to Blenheim Palace to take part in the annual Rotary 10km race. In aid of local hospices, over 700 entrants lined-up in front of celebrity starter Jim Smith. Conditions were good as Draper was one of just 20 runners to break the 40 minute mark. A creditable 16th placing was pleasing after shaking off last month’s bout of Flu.
Sister Kane was delighted with her performance. The course was testing as it cut through the regal grounds so a finishing time 51 minutes was outstanding for the improving runner.

16th Jason Draper 39.33
212th Lisa Kane 50.58
477 finished.
