Pennine Lancashire 5k

The Pennine Lancashire 5km road race held in July had a new venue this year, starting and finishing at Witton Park in Blackburn.

The course was out and back, with a fast downhill start before a steady uphill climb for the runners to tackle, and a strong headwind on the way back to the finish.

A high quality field was guaranteed as the race incorporated the English championships, North of England championships and Home Countries International Road Race Challenge.

Winner of the race was Kenyan Edwin Kipkorir in a blistering 13m.42. First woman was international athlete Helen Clitheroe of Pretson Harriers in an impressive 15m.45.

Three Lancaster & Morecambe athletes took part, with Louise Gardner running strongly in 17m.05 to finish ninth woman and earning a medal for third place in the Northern championships.

Close behind was Chris Breakell, who continues to improve with every race, running an excellent 17m.14 finishing 76^th overall out of almost 150 runners and second vet 45.

Paul Hodgson found the second half tough after a quick start, but battled on well to finish 85^th in a very respectable 17m.31.
