Loftus Poultry Run Results 2015

I hope everyone who took part in the 32nd running of the Loftus Poultry Run enjoyed their day. Although it was a very mild day there was a strong chilling wind which made it tough going. Especially on the top of the hill where the wind was side on. The off road bits where also very muddy which all added to the fun. Thanks to Andy Bostock and his team at Loftus AC for organising a great event yet again. To see the Provisional results click here.
