39 runners from Hayle joined a total of over 250 running the Sticker 5 mile race. This undulating course takes in the country lanes around Sticker with a sharp climb at the half mile mark.
The conditions couldn’t have been more different to the race this time last year, when runners were faced with rain and the odd rumble of thunder. This year saw glorious sunshine as the runners took on the hilly course. A group of runners even made the most of the lovely weather by having a picnic after the race.
Hayle did very well for prizes, with our men’s and ladies teams both coming in first, and Emma Paull coming in as the second lady overall! The Men’s team was Jacob Gardner, Jordan Morant, Pete Barnes, Neil Hayhurst, Dan Strickland and Tom Rosenfeld. Emma Paull, Melodie Manners, Debbie Harrison-Webb, Lee Strickland, Kirsty Medlock, and Jane Barker made up the ladies’ team.
The Hayle runners taking home age category prizes were:
- Ladies 35-39 – Emma Paul, 1st
- Ladies 40-44 – Kirsty Medlock, 2nd
- Ladies 45-49 – Lee Strickland, 2nd
