March AC runners took part in a five-mile charity race.

The event, which took place on Thursday, July 17, was held to raise money for Alzheimer's UK.

Steve Beasley led the way for March AC at the Eye Charity 5 Miler, clocking a time of 30 minutes and 9 seconds.

Tim Brammer and Andy Cole followed suit, both completing the race in just over 31 minutes.

Kanina O'Neil, the first female runner for the club, crossed the finish line in 31 minutes and 52 seconds.

She was closely followed by Dawn Goodley, who finished in 39 minutes and 39 seconds, with Victoria May completing shortly after.

The Eye Charity 5 Miler is a well-regarded local event that brings together runners for a good cause.

This year, the funds raised were directed towards Alzheimer's UK, supporting people affected by dementia.

The participation of March AC runners in the charity race builds on their strong performances at the club's annual run the previous week.
