We had heard a lot about the Tatton Yule Yomp - a beautiful scenic 10k plod, run, walk, tumble through Tatton Park’s trailing paths! We weren’t disappointed! With ankle deep water, reindeer galore, and a sunny day, we really had a great time. Well done to everyone who took part in every sort of way, and yes, of course, fancy dress was obligatory!
Our Christmas Party and Awards do was memorable... for all the right reasons!
Wow what a night! It was our Christmas party and awards do, and this year we hired out the Sale Masonic Hall which was a brilliant venue! There were tears, pregnancy announcements, a lot of shots (for some of our members!) and lots and lots of dancing. Sore heads today! In summary, here are our 2019 award winners!

Wilmslow 10k - it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
It’s amazing how far our beginner runners have come! A stack of us took part today at the Wilmslow 10k which was lots of fun - it was wonderful to see some faster times too! We love it when our beginners take the next step and train for a little further distance - well done to everyone who made it happen!
Back for more at the MoRun!
Great to return for a second year at the 10k MoRun! We do love a great excuse to dress up! Well done to all our runners who took part, especially to those who went the extra mile with their outfits!

A bit of ParkRun tourism to Fletcher Moss
The relatively new ParkRun in Didsbury at Fletcher Moss welcomed us with open arms today! What a friendly bunch of people! We were impressed by the lovely supportive marshals, but not so much about the hilly course!!! Ha ha - who knew?!!!
When big kids bring little kids to run...
Whilst we’re an adult only club, we do love a good family outing that gets the kids involved! Cue our second annual trip to Glo in the Park which includes a 5k run around lots of glowing lights and neon paint! What’s not to love?!!!
We don't just run... we eat curry too!
Lovely to have the Urmston group together this evening for a curry at a local restaurant!
Manchester half marathon success
We had a fantastic time this morning at the Manchester half marathon! So many of our runners decided to take on this epic challenge for the first time - we had some deciding last minute to “give it a go”, we had one runner who was too nervous last year to run it but this year came back with a determined smile, and we even had one of our runners come over from North Carolina to take part! A big thank you too to all our marshals who helped the organisers on the day - we know it’s not an easy job and are grateful for the volunteering of your time!
New running coach announcement...
Meet Ian and Pam! Both today completed their run leader training and now join the 16-strong running coaching team of #MileShy! Both Ian and Pam bring different qualities and strengths to the role of coach, and both are loved by our runners. Huge congratulations to the pair of them, fantastic to have you on board!
