Town Memorial 10k Race Report
Well done to all the club runners taking part in today’s Town Moor memorial 10k race organised by Heaton Harriers.
This course gives runners a great chance to get a PB and at least 4 club members took advantage of that today (Paul O’Neil, Helen O’Neil, Matthew Levison and Lynn Midgley Ward) Well done especially to Matthew on breaking (or should that be smashing?) the 40 minute barrier for the first time. Special mention to Mick Meaney too as it couldn’t have been easy doing 10k whilst carrying a dog.
