What a fab day at Beat the Barge on Saturday 8 August 2026.
A BIG thank you to all who made it happen and to all runners who took part. Loved seeing all the red t-shirts.
The event made a profit of just over £750 which will go to the club Charity of the Year, so fantastic work from all taking part (this amount is subject to the club audit).
Lots of photos on the club Facebook page
First home was Seth Garner in 31 minutes and 35 seconds, results show 188 finishers
