Lucy Carter, gym manager at Moreton Hall Health Club, said: “Many of our members spent months training for the event, becoming fitter, stronger and more confident along the way.
“Just as importantly, they built friendships and supported one another throughout their journey.”

“The atmosphere throughout the day was electric, with athletes, spectators, families and local businesses all coming together to create something truly special.
This year, the club introduced the winners’ trophy and a team award for Best Dressed Vibe, something Lucy said made the day ‘even more inclusive and enjoyable’.
