Burndener Andy is club’s ‘big cheese’ at Myerscough event

There was just the one slice of Burnden Road Runners represented at the Myerscough 10-Mile this year.

And despite the lack of club-mates and the ‘Brie-ze’, Andy Norman put in a ‘Gouda’ performance at the Preston event.

Beautiful scenery follows runners along this flat and fast course, which begins from the college and is entirely on the road.

He counted down from 10 to cheese in 1hr 9mins 36secs and received a wedge of Lancaster Bomber for his ‘grate’ effort.

Starting in the town centre, the Wilmslow Festive 10K’s one-lap course is perfect for fast times on scenic roads, before finishing on Mobberley Road/Sandy Lane.

It is Run North-West’s ‘traditional festive curtain raiser’ - raising much-needed funds for The Christie since 2017.

First home for Burnden was Ravi Patel in 44:07, followed by Samuel Ashton, in 46:29, and Lyall Mew, in 54:26.

Dashing through the Rivington roads on Sunday were Burnden’s Julie and David Morrison who joined in with the Tri-Rivington Santa Dash to raise funds for charity.

The Tri-Club asked for donations to Urban Outreach and Bolton Hospice - and were pleased to raise £220.
