A club record 55 runners turned out for the latest BDL road race at Denby Pottery last Tuesday.

The phenomenal numbers accounted for 15% of the total number of finishers and was second only to North Derbyshire’s 56-strong showing.

Matt Bickerstaff led home an impressive HRC 1-2-3, with Dale Aannable and Joe Rainsford occupying the next two spots just 48 hours after hitting the podium at the Ramathon in Derby.

Lisa Palmer-Blount dominated the women’s race and took the honours by over a minute ahead of Michelle Willcocks (Sutton Harriers). Louise Insley and Lily Winfield completed the team counters in third and fifth respectively.
