David Denton, who will be known to many local runners, will be carrying the torch in Buxton.
Good for David – he really deserves the honour – He gives an enormous amount of time to local (national and international) running including his Parwich children’s races on PP5 night, not to mention his charity work in India. – It might be the first time he’s run in a while – even I might be able to keep up!
