South Manchester was ‘sizzling’ not because of the weather but the second of four 5k runs for all abilities in Wythenshawe Park.

Famously known as The Sale Sizzlers, this time more than 350 raced, ran, jogged or shuffled the 5 kilometres route around the park’s scenic paths all with the aim of getting faster, fitter and healthier.

Every finisher was rewarded with goody bags sponsored by Kelloggs, with Ronhill providing valuable sportswear prizes for the age-category winners.

For those who like to run enjoyed May’s Gt. Manchester Run or ran a Race for Life Series and want another mass participation for every ability, the remaining two runs are on Thursdays July 28th and August 11th (7.30pm) at Sale Harriers athletic track off Wythenshawe Road.

Participants this year are also asked (optional) to consider raising money for St. Ann’s Hospice celebrating 40 years of caring for Greater Manchester residents.
