Chris Loudon wins Vitality Westminster Mile (Sat. 23rd Sept.)
In the first wave of the day, starting on The Mall, Chris Loudon was first to cross the Finish Line by Buckingham Palace. Representing Cambridge Harriers in Greenwich, he said afterwards: “This is the fifth time I’ve done the event, but the first time I’ve finished first, so that makes it special. It’s a great course, great scenery and it’s always very well organised – a great race. It’s a good one to go for a PB too.”
