KENT CHAMPIONSHIP 20 MILES – Ramsgate 1st March 2009 Julian Rendall ran a largely solo race to take the Kent 20 mile championship on Sunday on a tough seaside route centred on Ramsgate and Broadstairs.  Taking the lead shortly after the 3 mile point, he progressively extended it to over 5 minutes by the finish.  By contrast, Annabelle Stearns waited until the second half of the race to press an advantage over the leading women and took the ladies’ championship title by nearly 4 minutes over Sharon Hawkins.
