THREE runners who train at Stretford Leisure Centre are celebrating after completing the gruelling 'Hell-Runner' event, in Delamere Forest.

Janette Higginson, 47, from Stretford, and her friends Natalie Waite, 30, from Bolton and Racheal Hall, 40, from Urmston, (pictured left to right) came through mud-filled ditches and up steep trails to cover the 12-mile course.

Janette raised more than £500 for the British Heart Foundation, Rachael raised £115 for Clic Sargent and Natalie £300 for the British Lung Foundation.
