The 2017 Bells Run took place on Sunday 8th October 2017
The course length was changed from previous years to 10 km. A 5 km course over part of the 10 km course was also introduced.
There were 511 entries for the 10 km run and 68 for the 5 km. A full list of results is on the Pattingham Bells Run website – just follow the links.
Lots of comments have been received via Facebook. Many people commented that they preferred the new 10km route over the 7 mile course from previous years, and how spectacular the views were. The 5km was also positively received.
