YOUNGSTERS from across Preston took part in the annual cross country race in Avenham Park last week.

More than 25 schools took part in the primary school race, which involved the youngsters running around Avenham Park twice.

Danielle McCann, from Roebuck County Primary School, won the girls race, while Luke Mulholland from Fulwood and Cadley Primary School won the lad's race.

Roebuck County Primary School came out on top in the girl's team category, while St Pius Primary School won the boys category.

Organiser David Simpson, from St Peter's in Fulwood, said: "Once again, it has been very successful and all the children who took part did very well because it is a tough course."
