Regional President Victoria Smerdon added another medal to her already-impressive tally when she completed the inaugural Liverpool Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon.
The race started and finished at the Liverpool waterfront. Crowds gathered to cheer on the runners, and to enjoy live music from bands strategically placed along the route.
Three members of SI Crosby were at the finishing line to greet her. President Victoria said, “It was great to see familiar faces as I came down the home straight.
“I’m delighted with my performance. It was a lovely course – apart from the tough climb in Upper Parliament Street – and there were crowds of well-wishers everywhere. I aimed to finish in under 2½ hours, and actually clocked 2:20:13. A personal best!”
This was the latest in President Victoria’s year-long, self-imposed challenge to ‘run the region’ – and to publicise Soroptimist International by wearing her ‘Ask Me Why I’m A Soroptimist’ t-shirt.
