Despite being a little short at the sharp end, all who took part put in some sterling efforts. A special word of congratulation to Sharron Sheppard who was 3rd LV35 amid some hot competition and to Colin Travi who managed 7.5-minute miling. Nicola Leavesley had an excellent first run for us and Susan Harrison rekindled memories of old triumphs on this course. Winning time: 20:47 Number of finishers:358
