THE TIMES WE RAN

I have managed to obtain Race Results from the past and have selected those members who are currently, or have been, Wesham Road Runners, to show the times they ran.

The following race was run just before the formation of Wesham Road Runners but I hope that many of you recognise many of the names of runners from our area. You may also spot the name of a very famous International runner, who I believed died not long after this race, which perhaps explains his time.
