THIS YEAR'S RACE WAS AT Lytham C.o.E. Primary School, Park View Road, Lytham at 11a.m. Sunday 15th October, 2006
The Gazette of Monday 16th. carried a story and photos of the race
"Course records tumbled on October 15th.as a high quality field took on the challenge of our fast five mile race through rural Fylde. ....The fine autumn day was just what was needed for record breaking and Salford Harriers Kenyan ace Tarus Elly took full advantage to set a scorching men's record of 25:01.... Equally exciting was another record breaking run by Blackpool's talented eighteen year-old Tom Cunningham whose 25:28 in third place trimmed his own junior record by over a minute....." wrote Race Director Bill Lock.
