Mablethorpe Running Club split East Coast Classic proceeds
The donations were made from profits made from the club’s annual 10k race, the East Coast Classic.
Mablethorpe RC chairman Wayne Kew said: “We’re quite a small running club, with fewer than 50 members.

“We raised £1,600 in last year’s race, so are donating £800 each to RNLI and Liz.”
* By popular request, Tape2Tape events founders Nicola and Neil organised an off-road 10k night race from the 7 Lakes Country Park, near Crowle.
It was seen as an ideal setting for a headtorch race, with wooded area, grass tracks and footpaths.
