Derek McArdle ran in the inaugural Aintree Diabetes 10K in Croxteth Park. The event suited Derek as he set a personal best of 00:43:21. Derek said "The course was 3 laps around the park on a mixture of tarmac and country paths. Bob and Anne Brimage also officiated on the day. The was the first time the race has been run and if it runs in future years I would recommend it to everyone. Not only is it supporting a good cause, it is also a fast flat course in a great scenic area."
