The first club championship race of the season for Prestwich AC saw more than 30 club runners take part in the Hale 10k recently and the seniors shone brightest.

The sun was shining as the club competed with more than 900 other runners on the fast and flat course which runs through the countryside around Hale and Bowdon in Cheshire.

The senior ladies from Prestwich had an especially strong showing with Hilary Herman taking first prize in the V60 female category, Janet Hardwick in the female V65 and Steph Caldwell completing the treble of prizes in the female V70.
