Today 20 team members, plus our four Land Rover Ambulance team vehicles and team minibus provided Standby Rescue Cover for the Smithhills Serpent Trail Race which takes in the trails above Horrocks Fold on the fringes of Smithhills Moor.

Organised by the Burnden Park Running Club, 91 runners took part in the 5 mile route, with each competitor completing 3 circuits of the trail.

Happily the event passed without incident.
