 Cheryl Hutchins was turning her hand to something a little different from running this weekend.

Back row: Heather Simly, Paula Hutchins, Carol Ward and Joy Lavis. Front row: Clare Windermere and Cheryl Hutchin
She spent the bank holiday in Devon cycling from coast to coast with a group of friends in aid of Breast Cancer Campaign. The route took them from Ilfracombe to Plymouth and so far the ladies have raised nearly £800 for the charity. You can still sponsor them via this link.



At the free weekly Congleton parkrun, it was a day of success for the junior members of Sandbach Striders. Molly Pheasey (aged 10) continued to improve upon her personal best time with each attempt a new personal best time. Adam Mayell (aged 6) ran his third 5k managing once more to outsprint his mother Amy on the final lap.

Also on Saturday Paul Nicholls ran a 4.8km fell race starting from the Grouse Inn in Chunal in the Peak District. The race only attracted a small field, the 305 meters of climb putting off all the hardiest of fell runners.
