The final event in this summer’s LUL saw a record entry of 50 runners taking to the streets of Sudbrooke village for the first time in over a decade. On the Short course, young Joseph Crabb held off his sister, Eleanor, to claim the victory, with Ali Ellis-Noble taking the final podium spot. The Medium course saw Dave Brown record the win ahead of club mate, Pete Harris, with Alison Crabb finishing third. Finally, the Long course saw Marcus Lancastle seal his second win of the series, just ahead of Richard Crabb and Craig Lucas. The results from the event can be seen here.

As the dust settled on the evening’s racing, it was time to award the series prizes. The Short title had already been taken convincingly by Jonny Ogden, the Men’s Medium by Paul Murgatroyd and the Women’s Medium by Hannah Mather. The Men’s Long went to the wire, with Marcus’s victory on the night sealing his first win in this class, and the Women’s Long was secured by Jane Deville, with Amanda Roberts unable to overtake her tally on the night. In the team trophy, LOG consolidated their lead on the evening, with a 36 point victory, and took the inter-club trophy by 3157pts to 3094pts. Final series tables can be seen here.
With the series done, the club has a short break before their two main events in August – the Wolds Mini-Mountain Marathon and the Lincoln City race. Details and entries are available on the respective event pages here and here.
