Arnison Dash (2m/1000') -Sunday 28th June

The Ullswater Country Fair today incorporated the English Junior Uphill Championships...there were some excellent races by our juniors in a top quality English Championship field including two Keswick AC medal winners and victory in the under 12s, more on which later as results are available.

The fair also hosts the 2m/1000' Arnison Dash, in which this year Keswick AC placed two inside the top three. Chris Edis forced a hard pace out of the show field which Alastair Dunn (Helm Hill) took on to lead up to the summit and back down to finish in a time of 14.35. Steve Hebblethwaite managed to keep in touch with the pair on the climb to the summit by just enough in order to make closing the gap on Edis on the descent a possibility. However it was not until two thirds of the way down that he was able to edge him out to claim second in 15.13, with Chris third in 15.24.
