Sunday was a cold start to the racing year but it didn’t stop the intrepid runners heading out on to the 12km and 6 km courses for the Resolution Run!
After the race the runners were offered either fruit or cakes based on what their New Years resolutions might have lined up for them. Most chose the cakes options!! Thanks to all those who took part. We hope you have started your year as you mean to go on!
