A good gathering of Northampton Road Runners gave up shopping, baking, decorating and other such chores and headed for Luton sporting a variety of running kit and headwear not usually seen at races.
We were missing a few of our stars which meant everyone had to step up and it was good to see club stalwarts Mary, Elaine and Dave W back near the top of the score sheet .
After good runs it was then time to face the mountain climb back to race HQ for mince pies.
Planning for next years targets then took place at a pub stop on the way home before settling down for Sports Personality.
For the ladies, Penny Andrews was first home in 18th sporting a full on santa outfit. Beckie Hollowell was next and also donned a festive hat followed by Mary Sullivan, also in her hat. The other ladies in the team were Elaine Palmer, Jo Cummings and Sally Garrett.
Chris Lamb led home the men with a 4th place finish overall and Tony Letts was close behind in 25th. Mark Kennedy enjoyed a good run and Mark Garrett after stopping to help a runner who had taken a tumble on the course. John Fleming was three places behind completing a clutch of claret and gold shirts.
Pete Moor, Dave Whatton and Dave Blackburn completed the scorers. Darren Baldwin recovered from a late party and finished just ahead of Tom Sullivan who always targets a top 200 finish.
Jon Panter, Jim Anderson, Jon Dilworth, Paul Braddock and Jags Rattu completed the line up.
