MONTHLY HANDICAP |
The Monthly Handicap has been run on a semi-rural course of exactly 3.73 miles in Thornton Cleveleys since 1985. Hundreds of runners have taken part and there is an impressive list of course records reproduced below (all North Fylde runners unless indicated). From April to October the race starts at 7.15 p.m. (6.15 p.m. in October) on the first Wednesday of each month. From November to March there are two editions of the race - one at 12.15 p.m. on the first Wednesday and the other in the morning of the first Sunday (except in January when it is Sunday only).
Several runners have completed the race over a hundred times (see below) and have been presented with a commemorative trophy. In June 2006 Margaret Brown became the first runner to complete two hundred races.
