Freshers’ 5k 2024 Report

Michael Miskin | Monday, October 21st, 2024

The afternoon of Saturday 12th October saw this year’s edition of the Freshers’ 5K taking place around the West Cambridge site. For the first time in a long time, the race was actually the full 5k distance, which means all PBs have been fully earned! The heavy rain during the warm up did not deter runners and we had 130 finishers. The full-length course was blessed with a sub-15 finish from Cameron Deverill, who stormed across the line in 14:57. He was followed by Dan Taylor in 15:51 and Daniel Fazackerley in 15:58 – who was also the first male fresher to finish. On the Women’s side, Zoey Starke was the first finisher and first fresher, clocking an impressive time of 18:44. Lucy Randall and Chloe Young rounded out the podium, with times of 20:39 and 20:51 respectively.

The next race in the club’s calendar is Megacross on 2nd November at Coldhams Common.
