The race that keeps on growing

THE sixth annual Robert Moffat Memorial High Legh 10k race will take place on Sunday, March 3 – with 100 more places available for runners.
The race around High Legh has grown in popularity each year and has been continually over-subscribed.
Earlier this year, the race was, for the first time, jointly organised by Lymm Runners and the High Legh Community Association and the number of places was increased from 300 to 400. But some would-be entrants still had to be turned away.
Lymm Runners and the association are again joining forces and the number of places for 2013 is being increased to 500.
Club captain and race director Chris Lees said: “We have built a fantastic friendly race that is supported by the whole village, where fast club athletes and part time fitness runners are applauded in equal measure.
The race starts at 11am and entry fee is £13 for affiliated runners and £15 for non-affiliated runners.
The route starts and finishes at High Legh Primary School and refreshments will be provided by the school’s PTA.
All runners receive a goody bag including a technical T-shirt.
Entries are now open and, for more information or to enter, visit www.lymmrunners.org.uk or www.highlegh.org.uk.
