* Mablethorpe RC ladies Sarah Stevenson and Katrina Needham headed to Morton for the Gainsborough Morton Striders 10k.

The eighth annual event was dedicated to Helen Robinson, a much respected GMS athlete who recently passed away after a long battle with cancer.

There was a minute’s applause at exactly 9.58am, starting at the front, to celebrate the life of Helen.

Highly regarded as one of the most popular 10ks in England because of the flat closed roads, a total of 830 runners completed the anti-clockwise route on countryside roads from Morton to East Stockwith and Walkerith, and back to the finish line in Morton.

Sarah finished in 1hr 05min 03secs, while Katrina crossed the line in 1.09.10.

The winner was Rob Payne (Caistor Running Club) in 32min 45secs, while the first female was Laura Wilkinson (Lincoln Wellington AC) in 36.06, for eighth overall.

* Mablethorpe RC are continuing to seek potential runners who would like a steady jog in the company of others, for their Couch To 5k programme.

The free course for adult beginners is open to those with just the slightest interest and desire to run.

It meets every Tuesday at Sutton-on-Sea Social Club from 6.30pm.
