Volunteers were on hand, as usual, to make sure the event was even more special and ran smoothly.
Around 200 people take part each week, with an average finishing time of just over half an hour, and it’s free to enter, starting at 9am each Saturday, but registration is required before going along. Details at [email protected].
There are also weekly Park Runs at Lytham Hall and Fleetwood Promenade, also starting at 9am on Saturdays.
