At Dacorum AC we are no strangers to high level competition and success, but I think a World Record attempt at Jarman Park is a first for us!!
On Thursday 26th September, Sarah Roberts is attempting to break the W70-75 5,000m World Record at the age of 74 years and 11 months. Sarah will be taking part in our 5K club champs on that day. If you can make it, please come down and cheer her on.
Sarah came ever so close at the recent World Masters Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden. Sarah had a fantastic World Champs with Gold medals in the 800m, 1,500m and 5,000m. Her 5,000m time of 20:58.33 was a championships record and only just missed Angela Copson’s world and British record by a couple of seconds and remarkably Sarah enters the W75 age group in October.
So, come on down to Jarman Park on Thursday.
