Ceres 10K Series: Struiken wins battle with Riley; Breaks course record
And it needed a record breaking effort from Clifton Struiken to win the battle with Riley on the partially hilly course known as ‘Prison Break’.
Struiken ran a blistering 35:54 minutes to demolish the course record of 40:45 minutes held by Reuben Stoby.
Riley had to settle for second in a fast 36:54.
Third was Julius Farley in 40:45.
In the female category, Julianne Potgieter completed the distance first in 46:58. Cate Barbour was second in 53:30 while Jillian Plaxton was third in 55:17.
Series leader Katrina Lindsay opted for the College Classic 2-mile race on Virgin Gorda where she shattered her own course record with her time of 11:40.34.
‘Prison Break’, which was race 4 of the Ceres 10K Series, started in the car park at Long Bay, Beef Island, and headed turns towards and through the airport terminal, towards Minines Plants & Landscaping and returned to the main road and across QE II Bridge before turning right on the road to HM Prison for approximately 1 mile before returning to the starting point.
Following the race, participants were treated to large boxes of Ceres Juices by series sponsor, Proudly African.
