ATHLETICS: Town and Gown results
 |
| Stephen Kimber |
Stephen Kimber - one of Oxford's top distance runners - managed a career best third place in the 27th Town and Gown race this weekend.
About 3,500 runners raced through the streets of Oxford to raise an estimated £100,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.
Orlando Edwards, 32, from Camberwell, London, who runs for Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers, finished in first place.
He said: "I think my time was 31m 55s, which I am quite pleased with because it's a personal best for a 10k.
"I have done the Town and Gown before and finished fourth and second, but this is the first time I have finished first, so I am delighted with that. It's a great cause."

Alaster Stewart, 35, from Wimbledon, came second with an estimated time of 32m 02s, and said: "It's a fast and flat course with plenty of tight corners along the way."
Kimber, 29, from Florence Park, in Cowley, came third with an estimated time of 32m 09s.
The winner of the Oxford Mail Cross Country League for the past three years said: "I have run this race every year for about the past 15 years and although this is not a personal best for a 10k race, this is my best ever placing for the Town and Gown, so I am very pleased."
Some runners know muscular dystrophy sufferers or had experienced a form of the disease themselves.
