In the same event, veteran (M50yrs.) Maurice Collins ran 1 hr.33 min.09 secs.
Four ladies and one man tackled the Trimpell 20 mile road race run through the historic streets of Lancaster and the Lancashire Lune Valley countryside.
First for the club was Sonya Monaghan in 2 hrs.42 min.32 secs, Kevin Cunningham also broke 3 hours with his time of 2 hrs.55 min.43 secs.. Dorothy Fairhurst, an over 70 veteran, ran 3 hrs.41 min.38 secs. and Gemma Aden 3 hrs.50 min.37 secs..
