“Hayle Runners have had a great year, and seeing the club band together in competitive spirit has been glorious. Every single award winner this year is a credit to our club and role models for all runners. The Hayle Runners committee and myself are so very proud of each and every one of them. Members are already eyeing up trophies for next year, so I’m personally looking forward to an exciting 2024.”
