Rob Lister didn’t love the “sideways rain” at the Lancaster Valentine’s 10k.
Despite the bad weather, the Radcliffe Athletic Club member clocked a superb 43:45, to finish 20th and second VM55.
It rounded off a great weekend of running for Lister – just a day earlier he was 17th and first in his age group in 22:54 at Lancaster parkrun.
More Radcliffe members were also in action at the popular 5k parkruns. Rob Shiels posted another great performance at Heaton parkrun, finishing 20th out of nearly 600 runners, and first VM45, in 19:41 while Iain Harris ran 35:32.
Natalie Hitchen posted 34:29 at Bolton parkrun and, further afield, Elaine Bailey ran 27:42 to finish first VW60 at Alexandra parkrun and Sheila Jones was first VW65 in 22:56 at Heslington in York. Peter Hunter ran 25:38 at Burnley, Cheryl Gallagher 32:29 at Peel in Salford and Tracy Wroe ran 33:52 Worsley Woods.
