Harry Gamble-Thompson 20Ten

UKA Licence no 2020-tba

Harry Gamble-Thompson passed away on the eve of the 2019 20Ten race. Harry became a member of New Marske Harriers not long after it was formed in 1986. He was well known on the North East road running scene, particularly in the marathon. His time 2:32:10 at London Marathon 1982 ranks him 10th in All Time UK Vet 50 for the marathon. He probably ran faster than that - there was no chip timing in those days. Harry was also chairman of the club for 10 years and would still turn up at Saturday sessions to help out until 2018.

Of the races organised by New Marske Harriers, this is the one nearest in distance to his beloved marathon, and the proximity to his passing, it seems an appriate tribute to re-name it in his honour.
