Mobberley ‘Round the Runway’ 5, 2025

Owain Morris
Twenty Macclesfield Harriers travelled to the ever-popular Mobberley ‘Round the Runway’ 5 on Tuesday evening. Whatever the weather elsewhere, flying into Manchester Airport invariably means arriving to grey skies and rain. This proved to be the case for this race around the perimeter of Manchester’s second runway. Despite Monday’s scorching…
