There are a number of different names for the Littleborough 5K races.  What they all have in common is they are charity events run by Andems Runners (Andy O'Sullivan and his team of committed helpers) or Littleborough Lions  with assistance from Rochdale Harriers. 

Charity or not, these are hard fought races on a tough course that includes the evil hill up Smithy Bridge Road.  Winning times are typically around 16 minutes with the course record of 14 min 40'ish seconds.

Andy makes sure everyone gets a prize - usually chocolate, biscuits or a T-shirt from another event (be it a half marathon or diving event).  

Great atmosphere and well attended, even when run on consecutive weeks.
