Another wet club race, and it was more cross country than country park at Rother Valley for the Sheffield City 10k!
The 10th club race of the year was a couple of laps round the lake, which could just about be seen through the rain and mist.
Just 8 of the most hardened and dedicated STAC club championship runners braved the conditions. But despite small numbers, they more than made up for it in terms of prizes.
Richard Herrington and Tillie Clark won the male and female races, Sarah Morley was 2nd lady, STAC won the team prize and Chris Gill was first in his age group.
In the club championship with the table reflecting the best 7 out of 10 races, it is very close in the ladies with Tillie Clark just 10 points ahead of Sarah Morley. It’s not so close in the men’s however, as Richard Herrington has over 100 point lead ahead of his nearest rival!
