This new 8.5m/1800’ race made its debut in the calendar last year, and as such there was little surprise when Morgan Donnelly (Borrowdale FR) set a new record when he turned out for the second running of the race last Saturday, with a win 57:27. He was followed by road and track man James Douglas (Border Harriers) in 58:59, and Phillip Sanderson (Northumberland FR) in 59:54. The first lady was Claire McKeown (Border Harriers) also setting a new record time of 1:13:31, followed by Suzanne Budgett (Horwich RMI) in 1:20:31, and Jen Mattinson of Howgill Harriers in 1:21:21. Positive comments from all who ran –much of the route is fast running on good tracks with the exception of one steep and rough ascent, of Arthur’s Pike from Swarthbeck. Four Keswick AC men and two ladies raced:
8 Dave Birch 1:07:51 3rd MV40
19 Craig Smith 1:11:56
25 Colin Valentine 1:14:00
73 Chris Clark 1:36:42 2nd MV60
6 Hayley Hodgson 1:25:53 3rd FV40
11 Kim Clark 1:37:05 2nd FV50
