Results from Event #43, 13th March 2021
Terrible winds, kissing gates, fighting brambles and bed prisons could not stop 282 of you getting out there and pounding the pavement / grass / mud and taking part in the 43rd Fly 5K. There were 18 First Timers - welcome, and despite a runners least favourite condition there were a whopping 34 PB's - well done, imagine your run without the wind.
We saw a total of 61 running clubs represented today, with a warm welcome to members from Bury Pacers & Widnes Running Club making their first appearance and hopefully one of many.

Now for some milestones, a special well done to those completing 10, 20 and 30 Fly 5K's today and we have: 10 Fly 5ks - Anna NAYLER, Simon JAMES, Oren SENEVIRATNE, Ollie TREVOR, Vicky TREVOR and David WORCESTER. 20 Fly 5Ks - Julie ANN KENNY, James GILL and Clair WALKER. 30 Fly 5Ks - Xanthe MAINWARING, Chris ROBERTS, Julie TRIBE and Clare WATKINS. I understand your Virtual not T-Shirts will be on their way to you soon.
As always a big thank you to El Presidente of the Fly 5K - Graham Smith who celebrated a birthday this weekend and was spoilt rotten by some of our members. I would urge you to watch the must see videos.
If you simply cannot get enough of Fly 5K this weekend, then there is a special 'races' edition tomorrow and it's not too late to sign up. I am informed that your (virtual) race pack (whatever you already have at home) will be with you in time.
Finally, well done to everyone, until next time.
