Sunday 21st March dawned bright and sunny, making for a drier course than in previous years. Mountain Rescue were stationed around the course, while the guides, as always, efficiently set up the cake stall and handed out water and mementoes at the end. About 50 people turned up to make bunny ears and run in the Fun Run, with the first runner coming in, in just under 10 minutes.

The trail race was won for the second year by Phil Williams of Rochdale Harriers in 22:20. This was slower than last year, but a couple of alterations to the course have made it slightly longer and added one more short climb. The first lady home was Victoria Mousley of Accrington AC in 26:56. It was a great family atmosphere and a great excuse to get very muddy. All supported by great volunteers and the Moses Gate Ranger team.

Every year a short but very muddy trail race is held at Moses Gate Country Park in Bolton. KMC member, Katie Horgan is the race organiser and every year she asks for volunteers from the club to help marshall, give out numbers and eat up left over cake! This isn't an official club meet - that's on Saturday at Windgather - but if you can spare a few hours on Sunday morning from 8:30-12:30, it would be very welcome. Of course, you could always do the run...visit www.muddymarchhare.co.uk!

Anyone willing or able to help, please call Katie, thank you.
