Good Luck to each and every one of you!
Saturday 11th – Sandstone Trail
Mixed weather for the 33 mile challenge. Congratulations to the Lymm Runners (and everyone else) who took part, whether they ran it or walked it – as distance go 33 miles is… well, 33 miles! Well done.
Sunday 12th May – Chester Half Marathon
Congratulations to the Lymm Runners taking part in the Chester Half today. Great results: pb for Ant (>1:22), Jenny (1:48) and first-timer John (1:54). Brill.
Parkruns happen all over the place but our nearest one currently is at Wythenshaw (though some Lymm Runners join the fun at Pennington Flash).We had two Lymm Runners in London this year. Norman was his usual Stormin self who ran a great race to finish another sub 3 hour marathon in 2:57.
Helen also had a great race by running a new PB in 3:40. We are looking forward to the tales in the next Newsletter.
We had so much fun the last time we’re doing it again! 8 week Beginner’s Course starts April 18th and could lead you up to taking part in the Lymm Festival 5 or 10K at the end of June. See our Beginners Course page for details.
Our Annual Meeting was held on March 20th and saw much to celebrate.
It’s been a great year for the club; growing membership and attendance, a brilliant beginners group, hosting of successful events, and fantastic performances across various categories in all sorts of running events throughout the North West. Well done us!
The Wilmslow Half Marathon saw nearly 4000 runners complete the course in bitterly cold winds. Well done to everyone who took part – we hope you have all safely thawed out now!
