Here's another interesting photo from our database. It was taken at the start of the now defunct Loftus Scout 8 mile road race on 20th Jan 1985. This was in many ways the forerunner to the current popular Loftus Poultry Run.
Steve Sutcliffe (no. 44 left of picture) was an easy winner in 40:05 with Darlington's Paul Harker (no. 4) 2nd in 41:38.  M&C's Gwyn Potts (74) finished 3rd in 41:46, 13 seconds ahead of Martin Pearson (just behind Gwyn in photo). Brenda Yule was first lady in 53:14.
No doubt you more 'seasoned' runners will recognise other faces in the photo, if so then let me know and I'll  add their names to the list.....

Gwyn Potts says  no.48 is Peter Brannigan and no.8 is Brian Dale, thanks Gwyn.
