Haigh Hall 4 - by Wigan Phoenix

The third year of the haigh Hall 4 mile series got off to a blistering start when Matt Clowes, visiting from Staffs Moorlands, smashed the course record by a massive 45 seconds to finish in 19.55 – and became the first runner to beat 20 mins

The men’s places were completed by 3 horwich RMI runners, James Kevan, Richard Howarth and Martyn Bell, and Eddie Simpson from Dallam with less than 20 seconds between them. Martyn Bell was also first V40

The ladies’ race was won by our own Rachael Moore in 25.20, closely followed by josie Maley (Astley and Tydlesley) in 25.24 and Joanna Goorney (Wesham) (also first vet) in 26.02

Junior honours were claimed by Chorley Harrier’s Tom Belcher in 25 .09

In the Grand Prix Horwich dominated the places (easily winning the team prize) and Astley and T the numbers taking part – well done

Burnden won the ladies’ team prize
