Last year’s race
The Thompson Brothers Stockport 10
The 2008 Thompson Brothers Stockport 10 took place on Sunday 7th December 2008 from Woodbank Stadium in Woodbank Park, Stockport.
The race started and finished at Woodbank Stadium with two challenging climbs at 5 and 8½miles along this undulating and testing course.
There were prizes for the first 10 males/females and all veteran categories plus the team awards, which went to the Harriers on both counts.
All finishers received one of our famous Goody Bags along with a technical t-shirt, which proved a great hit with everyone. Also many local businesses donated some fantastic spot prizes; the top prize being an overnight stay in a luxury apartment in Manchester won by Mark Cliff of Marple.
The date for next years race will be Sunday 13th December 2009, with entries opening in August.
