Congratulations to the winners: James Trollope of Birchfield Harriers who completed the 10K course in 00:31:41 and Mandy Vernon, of Trentham AC who completed the 10K course in 00:39:18.
This was the first time my husband and I had entered the Lichfield 10K (being fairly recent runners). We really enjoyed the run and thought it very well organised. However, I am pretty disappointed to end up with en extra large t-shirt (I am a size 10!) after being told it was a medium size. All the small t-shirts were apparently given out before the race started (which I think is a bit unfair – you wouldn’t collect a medal before running a race after all). Ah well, you live and learn. A great day running but a useless t-shirt at the end.
All is well. I managed to e-mail the event organisers (Lichfield 10K) and have had a very swift response. A small t-shirt is now on its way to me. I shall stop moaning now and simply congratulate them on managing to organise a very enjoyable run today.
P Mitchell, I hope the small shirt arrived and is ok. Our supplier marked one of the boxes wrong hence the mix up. Sorrty for the mix up and hope you will both get in training for 2012. Kindest Regards.
