Mike Stevens, Founder of Nantwich Running Club, said: “I am so proud of the outstanding team and individual successes at this year’s events.

“We’ve had some fantastic results in our first year of cross-country running.”

Nantwich Running Club was established in March 2021 by Willaston endurance running coach Mike and has since attracted 450 members of all abilities.

The club meets throughout the year at Malbank High School and members run in small groups of ten people for up to sixty minutes every Monday and Wednesday evening at 6.30pm.

There are fourteen chatty pace groups, each supported by a Run Leader, who follows an organised route ranging in distance from three to seven miles each session.
