Olympians among one of the strongest fields ever

TWO Olympians, including a World Championship medallist, will be lining up in the 32nd KPMG Easter Running Festival alongside numerous international representatives and national champions.

Overall, the field looks set to be the strongest in years, arguably ever.

The four-day running festival has attracted quality endurance runners in the past, including Beijing Olympian Stephanie Twell and the likes of former 10,000m world record holder David Bedford in the formative years of the festival, but this year includes a depth that has not been seen for a while.

Twell, pictured, who suffered a horrific ankle break during a cross-country race two years ago, has taken the island to her heart somewhat and has become a regular in recent years along with her Aldershot & Farnham club teammates.
