Great to see so many Helsby vests on Sunday for the Christleton Border League Race
Quite a cool and cloudy morning with a promise of rain but that did not seem to deter too many people. The course was slightly under 10k due to a slightly modified start, but once free of the housing estate quite a ‘pleasant’ run through country roads with a small muddy track 8k into the race and cobbled bridges to counter.
Gallant running from Dave Madders after cycling to the race and missing the start to finish strongly. Congratulations also to Albert Berry securing 1st position in his age category. Well done also to Nesta and Kay with very strong performances in what is their first Border league event. I’m sure we can all remember how tough that first event is!
Well done everybody as I know some members are training hard for various events and marathons approaching.
Having a full mens team and ladies team really secures our positions in the team tables and gives us something to build on.
Great support once again from Joe Beswick.
