CLUB TEAM EVENT 2020
Heaton Park - MACCL
Another fun cross country event in the beautiful Heaton Park.
Bramhall Foodbank Finale!
Last night saw the last in the fantastic Foodbank race series expertly organised by our friendly neighbours at Bramhall Runners.
22 men and 17 women took on the 171 strong field, braving the slightly wetter and muddier course than the last 2 races and perhaps even the river crossing was a little deeper. That's almost 23% of the whole field in Red & Black stripes (think we can call that well and truly Menaced).
Of note, as well as our usual contenders, were at least 3 of our latest Pub 2 parkrun team; who now seem to be regularly enjoying training and racing with us and proudly wearing their new kit.
Kieran completed a full series of races in the junior race and this time bravely took on the river crossing rather than the stepping stones to finish 6th overall even if he did end up sat in the river after a minor incident on entry.
Well done to everyone involved and look forward to seeing you all at other events soon

Whalley Waltz
What a fabulous way to start a race, watching the Whaley Bridge carnival before Nick, Alex, Jeremy, Martin, Nadine, Cathryn and myself lined up at the start! Lots of support from the crowds cheering us on as we made our way through the village and off into the hills!
It was a scorching day and was thankful to find some shade in the woods. After the climb up the hills was a lovely surprise to see our photographer John up there taking our action shots!
We made our way back down the hills towards the village and was greeted by our very own cold bath waiting for us. Most people took a running jump and someone kind of didn't! ( it was a little shock for a moment when the river came up to my middle ha ha ! ).
No urgent need to get changed as was bone dry by the time I got home ha ha!
The marshals were brilliant and we all had a right laugh! Was lovely to see Sian there too cheering us on J
I highly recommend this one, was great fun! Give it a go next year!
