JANE TOMLINSON PENNINE LANCASHIRE 10K EVENT ON SUNDAY 11th JULY 2010

The event was a huge success with over 2000 entrants It was a very windy day and trying to erect our gazebo in readiness for our runners coming to receive their complimentary massage was no easy task.

Out of our 72 entrants our top runner was Stuart Proctor with a time of 45minutes and 4 secs.

I would like to thank all the participants and volunteers who took part in this event and all the volunteers who gave their help by marshaling on the day. We managed to reach the required number of 50 helpers which means that we will receive £1000 from the organisers - Run For All.

Thank you to the Allcock family and Ed Barrow who helped erect and dismantle the marquee and carry the equipment. Ed also drove our minibus to and from the event and unfortunately for us will be emigrating later in the year. I wish him a fond farewell. Kathie Buggie and Dymphna Pepper helped with leg massages for the runners and not forgetting our fantastic volunteer Pat Haworth who always goes that extra mile for the Hospice. She and her brilliant husband Jim have supported us at events for many years and now. - I don't know where I would be without them all.

The Jane Tomlinson’s Pennine Lancashire 10k followed a route through Blackburn town centre from
Witton Park and was the first of its kind in Lancashire, following three previous and very successful Run for
All events in Leeds, Hull and York.
