Thursday 24th April - Mobberley 'Round the Runway'

Seven E Grouper's set off  alongside 423 other runners, from a country lane near Mobberley Station for the annual
"Round the Runway Race", organised by Wilmslow Running club.

On a balmy warm spring day, we made our way around 5.3 miles of gorgeous quiet country lanes, tracks and a rough terrain stretch alongside Manchester Airport, where close up incoming planes spurred us on.

Just over half way round, we crossed under the runway, along an amazing lit tunnel, where the river flowed through and trees and countryside were visible at the other end. This was a spectacular firm favourite with the team, however the surprise steep hill after, was not quite what we would call our friend!

All seven finished in great form and in great time with Jordan leading the pack. A really fantastic event and a fabulous route.

Well done everyone!
