Rex Foulkes Half Marathon

From "A Life on The Run by Jack Pennington  OAM.

In 1969, my good mate from England, a National class marathon runner and a founder member of the ACT Cross Country Club, slapped me on the back as he left an athletic meeting in Canberra saying, "See you next week matey". 

He was a former paratrooper and took great pride in his fitness.

He had not only run marathons in England, but in every state in Australia. He was the ideal amateur.

But sad to record that within an hour of leaving me, there was a radio report that a man had been killed on a one lane bridge between Canberra and Cooma.  I therefore phoned the police for further information and unfortunately my intuition was proved correct.
I have seldom felt such sadness.  His body was shipped to England and for many years I corresponded with his mother.

There is now a "Rex Foulkes" Memorial Half Marathon in the UK and in Canberra.

Footnote

This years half  marathon was recently conducted.

Ginninderra Handicap Tuesday 27 th May 2014

Ginninderra Handicap No 369 on Tue 27/05/2014   temp  - 15C

This run was the Phil and Jeff show, not only are they both running really well,
came first and second, they then both won the lucky draw wine from the lighthouse!
 Phil actually started 20 seconds late so he might have got first
 (or would Jeff have lifted even more).
My advice is that if you absolutely want to start on time
do not chat to the time caller at all!
 Michael Taylor fresh from the Canberra Marathon came third.
  It was good to see Rob Walter back after a couple of years and he was clearly
 the fastest runner on the day. There were early fears about a
lowest ever number of runners, however a number of
faster runners showed up to boost the  numbers..
