| Start of Lytham Hall parkrun trial run |
There was a real lull in action this week, although there is plenty coming up in the next few weekends with the 3rd Mid Lancs League Cross Country meet from Sefton Park, Liverpool next Saturday being at the top of the list. This is great fixture for local athletes where they have the opportunity to run with Britain's best cross county athletes since it is combined with the British Athletics Cross Challenge Series 2015-2016.

The nearest race for Lytham St Annes runners this last weekend was in Chorley on Sunday morning with the Chorley Fire 10k. Starting from the Lancashire Fire & Rescue Training Centre in Chorley, the two lap course on quiet roads took in the local villages of Euxton and Astley Village and had a sneaky sharp hill which had to be run up twice. The race was very well organised and there was hotpot at the finish as well. Anthony Valentine of Bolton United Harriers was first home in 33:10 whilst first lady was Vicky Bryant of Wigan Pheonix. Mel Koth and Steve Ashton were Lytham St Annes' sole representatives. Mel finished in 75th place, 7th female and 1st vet 40 in a time of 43:02 whilst Steve was 226th in 52:05. There were 409 finishers.
On Saturday morning, a trial run was held for the forthcoming much awaited Lytham Hall parkrun which has its first proper run next Saturday (28th). The 5k course starts by Lytham Hall and takes in 3 laps of the grounds before finishing in front of the hall. 40 runners turned up for the practice along with a considerable number of volunteers with Neil Tate from LSARRC getting round the quickest in 19:14 with Felicity Wolohan being the first lady round in about 22 minutes. Already, 236 people have registered for Lytham Hall Parkrun . Further details and how to register for this free event can be found at http://www.parkrun.org.uk/lythamhall.
