The event was extremely well organised by Stubbington Green Runners, with very friendly marshals and spectators encouraging the runners the whole way round.

There was a shock at the end of Stubbington 10K that sent reverberations around the athletics world, and attracted the attention of WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency). This time Vasen Moodley was NOT overtaken by any women in their 90s !!!!! Investigations were held up until Vasen could be tracked down, having fled the scene fuelled by a Rocky Road supplied by an accomplice. He was eventually found hiding out in a carvery restaurant, being sheltered by the Oyston Gang.
