There are very few things that you say that are constant in this life BUT if you mention the Southend 10K – and in the same breath you would mention Andy Green who died from a heart attack on 18 April 2020 aged 77.

He and his wife Mary, both distinguished athletes, were strong supporters of the 10K and its predecessor – the Southend 5 mile

Andy is pictured here in typical style at the 10K
