THE fifth annual Lymm Festival Trail Races, organised by Lymm Runners, attracting entries from several other local running clubs as well as individuals.
The day started with local children, many dressed as woodland animals, taking part in a mile-long pursuit of a Gingerbread Man, cheered on by friends and family. There were lots of happy smiles at the end – except for the Gingerbread Man who needed remedial treatment from a therapist!
All the children were awarded specially designed bronze medals and there were extra prizes for the best costumes.
The 5k and 10k races followed, through Spud Wood and Helsdale Wood, with runners receiving a medal and goody bag.
Male and female winners of the 5k race were Tom Spance and Georgiana Walker, while Paul Lancaster and Joanne Smith won the 10k.
Stephanie Acton won the grand draw prize of a year’s off-peak membership at the Mere Resort.
Lymm Runners would like to thank all the marshalls, High School and Leisure Centre staff, and sponsors, including Harrington Robertson for sponsoring the fun run medals.
