Radcliffe AC continued their 40th year celebrations last weekend with the latest instalment of the 13 Arches Half Marathon race.

The biggest and most eagerly anticipated event in Radcliffe’s roster of races, the 13 Arches is a multi-terrain route taking in the trails of Philips Park, Drinkwater Park, Prestwich Clough, Hurst Woods, and Outwood Country Park.

Club chair, Donna Cartwright, was delighted with the fantastic turnout.

She also praised all the club members who volunteered on the day, including nearly 60 marshals, to ensure that the event was a great success.

Elaine Bailey also had reason to celebrate over the weekend, running her 300th parkrun, alongside her granddaughter, completing her very first at Heaton Park.
