The first of the summer evening races brought close to 150 athletes across all age groups to the town, five of them representing Mablethorpe Running Club.

In the senior/veteran men’s race, held over 7.13km, Joseph Rice-Mundy clocked 32min 11secs, while Guy Willey crossed the line in 39.19.

The second Wolds Dash was cancelled after the week-long deluges of rain flooded Hubbard’s Hills recreation area.

It is due to be rescheduled.
