Awards aplenty for the STAC runners who braved the elements for the ‘Red Hot Toddy’, the 3rd club race of the year, a hilly 10k in Todmorden.
It was 4 seasons in one day as the rain, snow, sleet and even a bit of sunshine – leading on long time STAC member to say that it was the worst weather conditions he’d experienced in a club race since the 80’s!
There were some incredible performances by the 17 STAC runners who took part, including awards for:
- Richard Herrington – 3rd overall
- Martin Horbury and Pauline Hardman – 1st in age category
- Glen Johnson – 2nd in age category
- Sarah Morley, Joanne O’Hara, Andrew Gardner and Geoffrey Hardman – 3rd in age category
In the club championship Richard Herrington continues his perfect start with maximum points and is ahead of Glen Johnson and David Morley in the men’s table. In the ladies Sarah Morley leads from Sam Jackson and Paula Watson.
