C. Well done all. The Pendle runners all survived!
It was good to see Jack R. and Kath R. on the course encouraging the runners and Jack took nice pics too . It was good to see back on the competitive scene Phil R. after some time off with injury , Phil crossed the finish line in a splendid time of 49.30 . Former President Mick J. had a great morning in Weeton finishing in a very fast 38.43 . Also Bob P. had a good run in this lovely village finishing with a solid time of 53.57 . Well done everyone .
