Carol Beattie and Sarah Percival took a trip across the Pennines for the popular Wilmslow Running Festival. Both opted to run the half-marathon – a 10k race was also on offer. The race has been described as a ‘beautiful Cheshire countryside course that is both fast and flat – a PB course!’
Carol illustrated the amazing strength in depth Striders have amongst our F70 women, claiming 2nd place and breaking the 2 hour barrier. She was less than a minute behind F70 winner, Helen Todd from Stockport, and ran her quickest half marathon since 2017.
Sarah Percival had a fine run in her age category, also finishing very close to the two hour mark.
