Children's Races
It was lovely to see so many children enjoying the challenge of racing over 400m and 1 mile, with lots of smiles and some very impressive performances.
Overall we had 167 runners, with 47 completing the 400m and 120 running the mile.
Well done to every one of you, also to families who encouraged their children. Winners and photos (when available) can be found here.

Aldridge Running Club are proud to continue the tradition of covering volunteer positions through club members, who do not participate in the race, choosing instead to ensure the safety and success of the race, cheering and encourage others. We were also grateful this year for the support of ex-members and friends, also to members of Aldridge Rotary and Streetwatch.
We were grateful too this year to our pacers: Elliott Edge, Chris Boden and Barry Cheema. Many thanks too, to race director Mark Johnson and his committee, for all the work behind the scenes over the past months.
We do not, however, deprive club members of the joy of Hobs Hole Lane, as we run our own races the Tuesday after the main race, with just a slightly different finish due to the field not being available. Our winner this year was Toby Oury, in a time of 00:45:55, with our first lady, Claire Boyes coming in at 00:45:00.
