1, 2, 3 at Ormskirk Park Run 400
LPS has a great history of supporting local Park Runs and so it was fitting that as Ormskirk celebrated its 400th event that we helped make the day special with over 20 athletes and a number of volunteers. I may be biased but it was also great to see LPS finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd […]
