Written by the unofficial strider, Wilf D’Cruz aged 9:
15 Goyt Valley Striders turned up to a well attended (109 people raced) 5km race starting at the Star Inn. Starting speedily at 19:00, the race commenced flat though Tideswell and up the big hill and then down into Litton. It was well supported there and curved back up the hill and then down again into Tideswell. I expect some fast sprint finishes from GVS.
Well done to Nathan coming 6th overall as well as the winner Charles Bell. Ita came first v60 woman and Rob coming first v40 man and I came 2nd u11 boy with my new PB: 22:57. Most of us had a most deserved drink after at the finish pub, the Horse and Jockey. Everyone did very well, I must say.
