Glorious weather greeted 4 Lichfield running club members at the Stafford 20 mile race on 9th March. The Stafford 20 is ideal for anyone who is preparing for a spring marathon which was the case for all 4 runners from Lichfield. The course is a three lap route with the first lap being a longer 8 mile loop with some tough inclines and a very steep decline to test you out early on. You then complete two 6 mile loops which the same tough incline from the first lap. I think it goes without saying that the third time up this hill was rather challenging. With the unusually warm temperatures at this time of year a few more drink stations would have been appreciated by all so taking this into account some impressive running by the Lichfield quartet.

The results are as followed:
