"But it was also really good to see a few locals who haven't been for a while."

The 187th run out for the event attracted 20 first-timers and produced one new personal best.

As ever the success was all down to the noble band of volunteers who see that everything goes smoothly. Today' heroes were Katie Hanson, Malcolm Hinsley, Alethea McHardy, Hilary Quick, Mark Caulfield, Zoe Russell, Bill Dewitt, Laura Holland and Maggie McPhillips.
