Hat-trick of wins for Haywards Heath Harrier Hardaway at Lewes
Hardaway clearly favours this multi-terrain course, a mixture of chalk and grass, taking runners across scenic National Trust Land and the South Downs Way. He outsprinted the second placed finisher in an excellent time of 1:01.07 to win by the narrowest of margins.
Paul Tomlinson and Paul Cousins were placed third and fifth respectively with strong finishes on this tough course in 1:02.28 and 1:03.38.
