Tuesday 23 July 2024 - Alderley Park Trail Race

We haven't taken part in many running races this year, but tonight we enjoyed an 8.5km trail race in the woodlands of Alderley Park. The Barbers were also there, and between us we all (apart from Greg who was 7th) came first, second or third in our respective age groups. Jeanette was supporting, and Laura was also running - warming up when the selfie was taken.

We congregated at the Glasshouse before the start.

The run director offered a briefing to the 505 runners taking part. Thanks also to the 100 or so volunteers, without whom the event would not be possible.

Results are here.

Laura - 34:39, position 24, Vet 35 1/43

Greg - 36:21, position 33, Vet 35 7/35

Paul - 39:55, position 89, Vet 65 2/15

Sue - 44:26, position 184, Vet 55 3/46

Martin - 55:14, position 366, Vet 75 2/3

We relaxed in the Glasshouse building, together with first woman home, Sophie, for quite some time. A most enjoyable evening, and a lovely undulating two lap course.
