Latest news……
June 27th saw the first ever Normanby Hall Womens 5km, run in the idyllic surroundings of Normanby Hall near Scunthorpe. At 9:30am almost 200 women stood on the start line with in lovely sunny weather. The run/walk ventured through the grounds of Normanby Hall and then looped back around to create a breathtaking finish just in front of the hall. Special mention must go to Jayne Baldwin who set a new course record in a time of 18:40. She managed to just hold off a fast finsh from Lindsay Skinner to take the win. A great first performance from Lindsay who is just returning to the sport after taking time out to have a baby. Well done girls, fantastic running.
A big thank you must also go to all the volunteers that helped out both on the day and leading up to the race. Your support was outstanding and the success of the event is largely down to you.
