Andy Paterson took part in the KA7, a 7 mile, multi-terrain, mostly flat course starting and finishing within the spectacular grounds of Kirkstall Abbey. We arent sure what tempted Andy to run this race but every finisher received a bottle of beer! 🍺 Andy finished in 54:11 💪🏼

Last night our runners weren't the only bright sights to be seen around Queensbury! Above the bright colours of our runners were the bright aurora borealis that our runners managed to capture brilliantly!
