An amazing day out at Blackpool. The ladies race saw Jackie Hodgson make her debut in an actual race. Previously, she had only attended our training evenings. Wearing her very clean and shiny bright new trainers, she led the ladies team home! A star has made her first appearance on the running stage. All the ladies were in sight of each other and Jackie was followed by Emma Bailey, Rachel Lowther and Paula Clark.
In the men's race Chris Singleton set off like he meant business and he maintained his strong classic running action throughout the race. He was rewarded by finishing 4th overall. As with the ladies race, the leading men were in sight of each other and Chris was followed home by Nick Treitl, Jimmy Craig and Ian Livesey.
