The Pattingham Bells Run took place on Sunday 14th October.
Well, that was one of the wettest runs we’ve ever had. We hope that the journey home for those who attended wasn’t too difficult and that they dried off soon!
Unfortunately we had a major problem this year when a large batch of 10k runners were sent the wrong way and completed the 5k run instead of the 10k. This did not affect the 5k race which went to plan. This only affected the leading group of the 10k race. We are really sorry about this and unreservedly apologise. This is the first time this has happened in the 30-year history of our popular runs.
As you are aware, all of our marshals and helpers are volunteers and freely give up their time for this event which raises money for local charities.
We reiterate that this does not affect the 5k race and, for those 10k runners who completed the 5k race, we hope that at least they enjoyed some of the experience in this lovely part of the country. We can’t wait to see the finish photos!
Once again, we are sorry for our error and hope that won’t stop you from entering our unique race next year!
The results and list of prize winners are at https://www.pattinghambellsrun.com/2018
Due to the miscommunication on the day, which we apologise for, an extra Contest – the “Accidental 5k” which lists those 10k runners that were mis-directed on to the 5k course – has been added.
This year’s Holiday Club, took place on 21st – 23rd August. It was called “Team Builders”. There is more information and photographs here.
