CHARD Road Runners took a piece of home with them when they competed in the Chicago Marathon last month.
Pictured (right) with the News in the bar of the Allerton Crowne Plaza hotel in Chicago, one of the oldest hotels in the city, are members Simon Hall, Mike Preece, Maria Worth and Nina Preece.
* A year's subscription to the News is up for grabs this year for the best picture submitted to our fun News in the World series. So if you're off somewhere famous and far-off, take the Chard and Ilminster News with you and send us a photo.
Judges in the competition will not be necessarily looking for the photograph taken the furthest away - just something that little bit extra special.
