LIVERPOOL / WIRRAL
THE BIG AWARDS
Running Community Service Award Rachel Griffiths (Wirral)
RACHEL HAS gone from a humble running beginning to complete a 30-mile fundraising run in West Kirby. She started the Mums To Marathons Facebook group, which now has over 400 members. It provides training to fit round home commitments. Members are often seen at races in their distinctive orange tops.
Overcoming Adversity Award Keith Peacock (Wigan)
Avid runner Keith was taken ill at the Great South Run 2012. Despite the ongoing difficulties with his health, Keith has reduced his participation and taken to event volunteering. Over the last two years, Keith has become an increasingly popular figure within the running community while running in limited events.
Volunteer Team of The Year Award Parkrun Princes Park (Liverpool) THE VOLUNTEER team have staged the weekly Princes Parkrun, ensuring its success by turning out every Saturday morning to stage the free, timed 5K run. It has become very popular with a wide range of runners, and is one of the biggest events of its kind with over 4,000 participants.
Running Image of The Year Award Paul Cooper (Liverpool)
TOUR OF Merseyside runner Lee Lloyd fell ill just one mile short of the 52-mile week long challenge. Not one to leave a runner behind, BTR race director Alan Rothwell and his group of Tourists met to run that last mile in Wirral with Lee once he had recovered – ensuring Lee also collected that coveted medal. The winning image by Paul Cooper was taken of Lee on the day he completed the Tour, overwhelmed and surrounded by his fellow Tourists.
And a big thank you to ... Jonny Mellor
