The impressive duo have been in great form.

A total of 124 runners finished race two with great club turnouts again.

Simpson said: ‘I like the windy conditions, it suits me.

‘You put a brick wall up and I will try to run through it. I do like the challenge.’

Elkins added: ‘I found it a lot harder in the wind. Last month it was so much easier for me but it was still good.

‘It’s a lovely event.’

The 1k junior race again proved popular as well.
