Sunday 7th April was the Darwen Half Marathon, with perfect weather conditions for a challenging race. The course has very tough hills up and down but also the most beautiful scenery. It's not a pb course with its 1500feet of climbs but the great atmosphere and support made it a great race.

Pam Hardman & Julia Rolfe were the only LSARR members to attend the event.Hardman finished in 56.05 and Rolfe 58.27. On a beautiful spring day where better than a race on. the fells, nice & dry under foot. A hard climb then a drop down to the valley to then climb up to a steeper climb but shorter and then downhill to the end, this was not easy but enjoyable. A bottle of the local ale for all finishers.
As usual numerous club runners completed local parkruns. Ross McKelvie was first home at the Lytham Hall parkrun coming 2nd in 18:32. Next senior was Alistair Leivers in 19:40 for 7th.
