Sunday 12th May was not just a hot day on the South Coast but it was also the annual Bognor Regis Prom 10k, organised by Rotary Hotham and Bognor Regis Tone Zone Runners. This year saw nearly 1,500 runners take part, and over 100 of them were wearing the blue and orange of Bognor Regis Tone Zone Runners.

Simon Gill ran his first race for the Bognor based club in for over a year and finished in 35:19, to kick off a host of fantastic results. Liam O’Connor ran a fantastic time of 37:41 just 1 minute 50 seconds ahead of Mark Phillips in 39:31 who kept ahead of the first official pacer Jack Penfold, finishing in 39:56, 4 seconds to spare. Chris Crouch and Cameron Coe ran together throughout the race finishing in 40:15 and 40:16. Juliet Stallard was our first female across the line in 42:01, finishing 1st in her age category.
