Last night, our local running community did what it does best and all came together for the first Lyra Hope Memorial charity race at Darley Park. Organised by Helen Treece and many others behind the scenes, it was a lovely sunny & fun evening with friends to raise as much money as possible for charity. Well done to everyone involved, runners, marshals, organisers and supporters who had donated.
I’m not going to attempt to analyse the results, as most people ran slightly different distances due to a couple of wrong turns/extra laps. That said, well done to our Striders for a strong turnout and to Jonny Branch who won the 5 mile race and Ben Clarke the 5k race! A Striders double win :) – just one word of advice though, when celebrating, always check your sweeties before you eat them, eh Jonny? ;)
Here’s the results, sorry if I missed anyone as lots hadn’t got a club listed. Denise, I’ve moved your result from the 5 mile to the 5k as I think that is correct :)
Well done everyone for making it a special evening :)
