We had a wonderful weekend welcoming hundreds of runners to our very own Lichfield 10k and Family Fun Run! For the third time, local runners, as well as many others who had travelled considerable distances, took on the route round the country lanes, featuring the famous ‘five hills’, and achieved some fine performances. Congratulations to you all!
