Fairfield Horseshoe –Saturday 16th May

While low cloud, strong winds and rain shrouded the summits, two Keswick AC runners lined up along with 289 others at Rydal Hall on Saturday for the 9m/3000’ of the Fairfield Horseshoe. The prolific Colin Valentine was the first home in a respectable 1.38.23 for 41st, adding another race to his already impressive tally this year. Andrew Murray who lost his way following a group on the Fairfield summit during an attempt at the race in 2006, exorcised some demons this year finishing in 1.50.52 (107th) despite wind, rain and low cloud.
