Q: What’s full of tulips and has Lee running a Marathon in it this week-end?

A: Copenhagen

Good luck to Lee who’s running the Copenhagen Marathon this week-end.
And good luck to all other Lymm Runners who are pulling on the running shoes – whatever your distance.

(Just heard – Lee did a fantastic time for the Marathon: 3.03.55. Brilliant!)

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.

Saturdays – ParkRun Day

webmaster — Tue, 07 May 2013 19:25:07 +0000

Parkruns happen all over the place but our nearest one currently is at Wythenshaw (though some Lymm Runners join the fun at Pennington Flash).

Organised entirely by volunteers, a Parkrun is basically a time trial; you register online and get a barcode; you turn up at the park with your barcode and run a measured 5K route. You run with loads of others. They are simple (and free!) to enter, and open to all – whatever your level of fitness.

Parkruns are scheduled every Saturday but next Saturday (May 11th) is Beginners Day at Wythenshaw!

Well done to everyone who took part in the 2nd Manchester Marathon. 4 Lymm Runners ran it and some 20+ club members gamely volunteered to help marshal - we were at the Aid Station in Sale throughout!
