Stamford Striders stage popular St Valentine's 30k race at Welland Academy

Prolific race winner Aaron Scott will be aiming to regain his St Valentine’s 30k crown in Stamford Striders’ showpiece event on Sunday.

The five-times winner was away on honeymoon last year as Huntingdon BRJ Run and Tri athlete David Hudson took top spot ahead of Scott’s Helpston Harriers team-mates Michael Channing and Josh Lunn.

But Scott - who holds the course record after posting a time of 1hr 37mins 52secs in 2014 - is among the entries for this year’s sell-out race which starts at 11am at Welland Academy in Stamford.
