On a warm summer’s night on 15^th July 2021, the IOM VAC held their annual veteran’s mile.  Seven veterans took to the track and all seven finished below the 7 min per mile mark.  We saw some remarkably close races with Ben Scott crossing the finish line in a time of 5 min 4.6 sec, which was just 0.2 seconds ahead of Paul Rodgers time of 5 min 4.8 sec.

Peter Callin came across the finish line 5 min 30.5 sec ahead of the first lady home, Caroline Mayers who finished at 5 min, 48.1 sec.  Gail Sheeley then crossed the line at 6 min, 14.3 sec, as the second lady home.

There was then a very close finish between Robbie Lambie and Steve Wilmott who crossed for 6^th and 7^th with times of 6 min 57.8 sec and 6 min 59.3 sec respectively.
