Sunday saw the annual Ormskirk 10k take place.

It started and finished at Ormskirk cricket club; well over 300 runners took part pounding some of the country lanes near the club.

This year's event was sponsored by Stage Coach Performing Arts and Solace Massage Therapy and for their efforts each runner received a bespoke finishers medal, T-shirt - and for many the best post race gift of all ... a free glass of beer at the final day of the Ormskirk beer & food festival!

The race was won by Adam Jones in a time of 35:44, 2nd place was Chris Millington 35:53 and 3rd was Nathan Woods 35:59. The ladies race was won by Natasha Sheel in a time of 39:19, 2nd place was Danielle Brearton 40:51 and 3rd place went to Jennifer Houghton 42:29.

Following the end of the race a large number of runners and their families took the opportunity to enjoy a great afternoon of fine food, drink and entertainment at the Ormskirk beer and food festival to round off a great day.
