05:00, 20 February 2024

This year’s Dymchurch 10k winners were the class of the field - and the Kent Messenger Group’s Barry Goodwin captured the seaside action.

Dover RoadRunners’ Amy Stimpson won the women’s race in dominant fashion, clocking 45min58sec to finish in ninth place overall, more than two-and-a-half minutes ahead of Laura Drawbridge (48.36) with Nicole Dodd (49.28) in third.

The men’s winner also strolled to victory after leaving the field in his wake. Cambridge Harriers’ Mark Penny won the race with 45sec in hand over William Hickman after clocking 39.02. Jim Bacon was third at the seaside, 34sec behind Hickman with 40.21.
