DEANO’S CHRISTMAS EVE ZOO RUN
Ashford Striders started the Christmas weekend on 24th with 13 members attending Deano’s Christmas Eve Zoo Run; not an official race but an annual interclub and open-to-all Christmas fun run! The route follows part of the Royal Military Canal and includes some of the beautiful “Lympne Castle Circular Walk” taking in Lympne Castle, Port Lympne Zoo (including a particularly muddy steep incline!) and stunning views across Romney Marsh.
