Start of run: 12 noon Saturday 22 May 1999.
The run got off to a cracking start. The first runner, Paul Seddon, was lapping the circuit in 19 minutes i.e. a speed of 7.6 miles/hour OR, to put it another way, equivalent to a 3.75 hour marathon!

The runners, roughly in running order were:

Paul Seddon Isabel Aragoneses Carol Howard Cliff Barker Dave Leal Leanne Mcintyre Linda Power Inga Reynolds Roz Turner Margaret Pedler Steve Fletcher	Ian Jenkins Caroline Blake Maz Turner Steve Baxendale John Turner Detlef Gartner Rachel Best Janet Marshall Wendy Bailey Michael Bassett Susan Smith
Also: Crystal Palace Fun Runners	Dulwich Runners
Dulwich Park Runners	other people & groups

Caroline Blake (our marathon runner) did 12 circuits which is 28.8miles - slightly longer than a full marathon. There were others who came quite close to this; John Turner, Paul Seddon... the run was never a race and a lot of fun was had by all.
Congratulations and thanks to everyone who took part (I hope I haven't missed anyone) - I calculated that they ran the equivalent of a London to Manchester journey in "people-miles".
