Past events
21 souls completed the Kinder Killer TT in a wide variety of climatic conditions and most had a tale to tell. Oli Johnson set a new record time of 5:18:42, Sally Fawcett was fastest woman and Mike Nolan lowered the M45 and M50 age category records. Ken Jones, who dreamt up the Killer back in the mists of time, reports: “As it’s nearly 20 years since I ran the Killer, I decided running it in one go was no longer feasible. However for old time’s sake and to enjoy it, I decided to walk it in two halves with a very brief rest in between. Therefore I did the first half on Wednesday and the second half the following Sunday. It certainly brought back good memories, especially scrambling up the cloughs. Whist descending William Clough on Sunday I was surprised Tom Brunt and then Ralph Skrimshire managed to pass me!
Ken Jones M72 Date – 14th to 18th April Time – 4 days 13 hours 35 mins 07 secs”
