| Sandbach Striders at Congleton parkrun |
As such it was a time of celebration and fun at Astbury Mere as runners donned their best festive fancy dress to mark the occasion. Members of Sandbach Striders running club require little in the way of persuasion to dress up and so it was that various Christmas Santa’s, elves, dragons and even a gorilla joined the eclectic starting line. This was not a week for fast times and whilst there were no new personal best times much fun was had by all.
