Steve Leafe and Robin Thorne tackled the 10 mile version of the Cannock Trail Race, which had previously been postponed, because of bad weather, earlier in winter. Both ran good, solid races recording 82:57 and 103:17 respectively. Sophie Anne Pickett and Amy Brookes tackled the 5 mile version and both ran with distinction recording very respectable times of 47:25 and 57:49.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last but definitely not least Chris Baxter was in action in\nWales where he ran superbly to win the Wrexham 10 in a new Club record of\n55:48.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crowning glory!!!
