This years Bollington 10K changed from its usual early September time to early August which meant that this challenging (ie hilly) race was made even more challenging by the warmer weather this time of year. Nevertheless, there were some excellent performances from both the male and female Harriers.

The rain that lasted most of the afternoon and early evening cleared just as the 24 Macc Harriers who entered the ever popular and scenic Wizard 5 started the race. Even though the conditions were damp this did not stop many Harriers from running well and snagging a few prizes.
For the men Billy Hicks (29:03) led the way just missing out on the top 3 by placing a strong 4th overall. Billy was followed by Scott Wilson (31:05) who placed a respectable 13th overall. Third Harrier was Ray O’Keefe (33:41).
For the female Harriers Hannah Bridger (33:02) kept up her recent excellent form by taking the 3rd place prize. Kathryn Hutchinson (36:10) was second female Harrier and 10th female overall. Rounding off the top three Harriers was Lynda Cook (40:57).
A theme at local races that is becoming common place is the winning of prizes by our more mature runners. So special mention goes out to Neil Gunn (35:14) for first M60, Christine Ritchie (43:25) for first F60 and Ann Harris (43:36) first F65.
Times for the rest of the Harriers can be found below with links to the provisional results and pictures from the race. Great running everyone!
