The whole Levi family were involved in the Lakeland Trails events at Hawkshead over the Easter weekend in beautiful sunny weather. Tom went first, in the 10k run, actually more like 12k, over mostly trails and farm tracks, with some boggy bits and only one serious climb. In a good atmosphere he finished in 2nd place in about 52 minutes, and part of his prize for finishing in 2nd place was a free place in next year's event!

Following the family tradition, Matilda was next, in the children's fun run and is certainly following in her father's footsteps. Mum, Faith, was last to run, covering 16k in her event, and, with food, live music and plenty of friendly faces, a good time was had by all!
