🏃‍♂️ KMR Wickersley Chase 🏃‍♀

A fantastic turnout from Rotherham Harriers & AC on Sunday for the latest round of the KMR series – the Wickersley Chase.

The very warm weather made for some seriously tough racing conditions, but there was plenty of determination, great running and the odd smile still left for the cameras! 😅☀️

⭐ Rob Watkinson produced the standout performance of the day, racing home in a superb 25:36 to take 1st place overall! 🥇

There was plenty more success for RHAC too, with Neil Mason, Angela Lally and Thomas Charles all claiming age-category victories. 🏆

And, as always, these races simply wouldn’t happen without the people working behind the scenes. A massive thank you to Becky for organising, all of the marshals, timekeepers, registration team, photographers and volunteers who gave up their Sunday morning to make the event possible. 🖤🤍

Plenty of brilliant photos from the day thanks to KMR Photography, capturing both the racing and the people who make the KMR series what it is. 📸
