Lowther Trail Run - 9th August 2009

Results: http://www.lowther.co.uk/events/new/run_09/index.html

The nature of the race meant a good turnout from both road and fell runners. And it was to prove a good contest between these two disciplines with Borrowdale fell runner Morgan Donnelly just able to come in ahead of Border Harrier’s James Douglas. This was a closely fought race with less than 30 seconds separating them, Morgan finishing in 1:19:45 and James in 1:20:13. Third place was Wesham runner Steve Littler (1:23:04).

It was a strong display from the veteran ladies with the first three women all aged over forty. First to finish was Suzanne Budgett of Horwich RMI in a time of 1:38:35. Suzanne’s victory was reasonably comfortable with second lady Karen Robertson (Northumberland Fell Runners) finishing in 1:41:50 and Monica Williamson (Leamington C & AC) third in 1:43:18.

There were plenty out for Keswick AC with the outstanding performance coming from Duncan Overton who was comfortably the first MV60 (1:39:58). Duncan finished narrowly behind Keith Hill (1:39:16) for whom this was a local race. First Keswick was James Luxmoore (1:35:52) who continues to run well in his debut season for the club and finished 15th overall.

Keswick AC: James Luxmoore (1:35:52, 15th), Keith Hill (1:39:16, 24th), Duncan Overton (1:39:58, 26th), Colin Valentine (1:48:57, 45th), Neil Elsender (2:00:29, 79th), John Dawson (2:01:58, 83rd), Patric Gilchrist (2:04:39, 94th), Paul Titley (2:04:44, 96th), Lucy Dunn (2:16:54, 120th), Ian Addison (2:31:45, 138th), Alison Cutts (2:40:58, 145th).
