Pictures: Derbyshire reservoirs provide beautiful setting for 6 hour running event - as 73 take part

Linacre reservoirs provided the beautiful autumn setting for the 6 hour Linacre Infini running event on Saturday, November 8.

Seventy three runners took part and between then managed to rack up 2560km run within the 6 hours.

With ample food available at the check point to keep people fuelled, many were able to achieve new personal distance goals.

The winners were Mark Dobbs from Sheffield who achieved 13 laps and Beth Elliott from North Derbyshire Running Club who completed 11 laps. The race organisers First Light Adventure donated the £2123 race takings to Ashgate Hospice.

This was aided by Severn Trent Water waiving their site fees for the use of Linacre Reservoirs and further benefitted by local ladies baking some rather delectable cakes .

Next year's Linacre Infini race will be a two day weekend edition with Ashgate Hospice benefitting once again. For further details see First Light Adventure Ltd.
