Emma Baines of Cannon Events RC finished first female with 27:15 earning her an improved performance trophy. Debutant and fellow Cannons member Liz Pearce finished second in 28:01 followed by Wingerworth Wobbler Lucy Bacon third in 28:22.
In the 1500m Rocco French of Cannons outpaced his cousin Daniel Baines but only just. Rocco posted 7:28 with Daniel only 4 seconds behind. Johanna Taylor was third finisher and first female in 8:08 followed by Lila Kimpton 9:03.
Improved trophies were presented to Jamie Cawthorne 13 seconds quicker than his previous best, Emma Baines improved by 28 seconds but most improved performance went to Holly Rogers who improved her 5k time by 5 minutes and 17 seconds.
As usual a big thank you to all the marshals and helpers standing about in the cold, we couldn’t put on the event without you.
