This was the second year of the Memorial Rog Run. It was another blustery one for those braving the elements to complete the hilly Ventnor run.
The rain ceased for the 11am departure from the seafront, the route continued up to the top of the downs and back to the seafront via Bonchurch.
We had trophies for the closest Male and Female to their estimated times for the 7.5 mile course. Also a team trophy donated by Rogers family for the closest combined three. A pair of Hoka shoes for the closest male and female with Easter eggs going to the first over the line and top team.

So first home was Trish Train and Paul Cameron with the winners of the nominated times being Ian Russell and Elaine Harris, with winning team “Snot Rockets” consisting of Lou Dover, Matt Fletcher and Nick Scott-Denness.
There was no entry fee just donations which are to be split between Rogers chosen two charities – Macmillan Cancer Support and SSAFA. A massive £355 was raised – thank you all, also a massive thank you to those who helped time keep, back-mark and marshall. A great day I’m sure he’d be proud of.
