Organisers Report
Since 1981 after 24 attempts from 6 hours to 6 days to get the discipline fit for purpose and improve year on year, the 2018 Annual 6 hours version again gave me new experiences of a pleasing nature. Preparation went smoothly, no problems.
Pre-race day setting up was hampered by constant rain, but Alan and Stan got the course fairly sorted ready for the onslaught of many duties early on race day. The race Village/course looked quite well in the sunshine. Julie and Graham again were stars in the technical chip/timing department, nothing left to chance with updates prompt and accurate for all runners.
Councillor Alistair Morwood started the race again in a professional manner. Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP, Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons covered the Presentation doing a splendid job showing knowledge and understanding of the 6 hours runners’ trials and tribulations. Special thanks to our acquired loyal sponsors who again were solid gold with contributions.
Just before closing a word about Beyond the Marathon – all 13 finishers covered genuine ultra-distance marks, a true reflection of ultras giving service to the sport and myself.
To end 2019 we go 5th October for the 5th Annual Chorley 6 Hour Road Race.
