Six members of staff from Hopwood Hall College have been keeping fit for work by running the Rochdale 10k or half marathon at the weekend.
Lindsay Hurst, the College Marketing & Admissions Manager, said: “It was tough route taking in the scenic Rochdale Canal and Hollingworth Lake in Littleborough, plus the newly developed Town Centre, but everyone finished and felt a real sense of accomplishment having crossed the finish line.
“The photo is from before the race. I did not look like this afterwards. It was a killer.”
The half marathon runners came in between one hour 50 minutes and one hour 58 minutes and the 10k runners were between 58 minutes and one hour three minutes.
