8 December 2024 (by D.Cartwright)

Radcliffe had 3 runners taking on the Longridge Christmas Pudding Run on Sunday. The 7-mile road race put on by Fylde Coast Runners that offers a Christmas pudding reward to every finisher.

 

Sheila Jones was first for Radcliffe and a fantastic first in her age category (FV65) finishing the 7 miles in 1hr, 2mins, 28 secs. Kathryn Davies was next for Radcliffe in 1:06:04, followed by Karen Doherty in 1:06:05. All three braved the strong winds of Storm Darragh to claim their Christmas pud at the end.

 

Junior Athlete Benji was at the Blackburn 10k on Sunday taking part in the 750m junior race, and finishing in 4mins, 23secs.

 

Further afield, Steven Fawcett raced the Lanzarote 10k. Despite battling through the heat and head winds, Fawcett finished in a fantastic time of 41:40, coming third in his age category.
