The Goole Viking Striders have a national champion amongst their number after the Yorkshire Marathon on Sunday.
Representing England’s Masters side against a Celtic Nations group, Julie Masterman won her V55 category in a time of 3.17.22.
It’s a fantastic achievement for Julie and everyone in the club would like to celebrate her efforts - we are all very proud of what you've done!
