In less than ideal conditions today, the clag down and going underfoot soft after recent rain, Simon Booth recorded his 12th Borrowdale victory in a time of 2:52:42. A word here should also go to Pippa, who was only five minutes away from the 1997 record in a great 3:19:42 -a strong run given the going underfoot.
Runners gathered in the field opposite the Scafell Hotel following the race to swap tales of woe -of injuries sustained over Scafell and down the corridor route, bravely carried for the remainder of the course, or in unfortunate cases requiring retirement, and of bad lines taken in the low cloud, around Glaramara and Allen Crags, over Scafell Pike, and off Green Gable. It is perhaps worth bearing this in mind when scrutinising the results below.
Today's race was the third of four in this year's club fell-championship. Updated tables will be online soon, going into the final race at Dale Head on September 19th.
