OLESIA Winder won a remarkable sprint finish to take first place in the Glaxo Hoad Hill Harriers one-mile Christmas fun run.

The Levens Valley AC runner came into the home straight among a group of four with club-mates Finley Corkhill and Jakob Nelson and the host club's Justin Corbishley.

But it was Winder – a winner in the Mid Lancs cross county race in Liverpool a week before and for Ulverston Victoria High School in the Furness Schools cross country days earlier – who triumphed.

She opened up a small gap between herself and the chasing trio, crossing the line in five minutes 46 seconds to be first home among the 74-strong field.

There was nothing to separate Corkhill, Nelson and Corbishley as they reached the finish, with all three given the same time, 5:46, just a second back of Winder.

Further back on the course around the perimeter of the sports fields at Glaxo, children as young as three were among those completing the course, with parents and siblings on hand to help them to the line.

Entrants from Walney Windcheetahs, Black Combe Runners and Barrow and Furness Striders were among them, as well as many who regularly take part in Parkrun events.
