Kentmere Horseshoe 11.9m/3300' Sun 25 July
A handful of us turned out to do this classic Lakeland horseshoe from the village of Kentmere. The description of the route on the Pete Bland race map claims - "12 enjoyable miles, which can be covered surprisingly quickly given that the course traverses a number of high Lakeland fells. Most of the climbing is gradual with few very steep sections. The running is almost all on short grass or decent paths, with the only rocky section of any note being the final descent to Hallow Bank". It does, however, fail to mention the long cramp inducing run in from the fell bottom to the finish. And I'm not sure all 12 miles were enjoyable, or fast and steepness is a matter of opinion....
However I did enjoy myself for the most part as did my fellow club mates (or at least Hayley did until she turned her ankle two miles from the end). Well done to all.
Race winner was Mark Roberts MV40 (Borrowdale) in 1.32.56
Ladies winner was Aly Raw LV40 (Bingley) in 1.55.24
Keswick Results:
20. C Robinson 1.47.04
25. Jamie Luxmoore 1.49.52
113. Toby Cushion 2.09.50
180. Chris Knox 2.29.23

27. Hayley Hodgson 2.31.10 (13th LV40)
28. Kim Clark 2.34.37 (1st LV50)
36. Mel Hart 2.43.16
A great race but no entries on the day allowed (however it usually doesn't close for entries until a week before).

Blisco Dash Wed 21 July 2010
Just 3 Keswick runners turned out to do this classic lakeland race in Langdale. Hardly surprising really with it being on the same evening as the Newlands Valley race, the 3rd club counter in the 2010 road championship.
65 runners in total made the journey straight up and down Pike O'Blisco from the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel via Red Acre Gill. With a sneaky tarmac section to start and finish - hardly noticed at the start, feels like a half marathon at the end. The weather was superb even if conditions underfoot were a little wet after the recent downpours! Lots of ground to make up on fellow competitors if you know where you're going off the top too (I didn't but didn't end up as far wrong as some....!)
Cracking race with a unique prize giving at the end by Selwyn. Basically the further down the field you are the more beer you win! And a complete bargain at £1.00 to enter!

Holme Moss
It was the 2nd of the long English Fell Championship counters on Sunday 18 July. 4 of our hardy ladies (& 1 man) traveled to Holmfirth to toe the start line of the 17mile/4000' course on a wet and windy day. But it was well worth it (easy for me to say as I couldn't be there to brave the storms with them)!!
Julie Carter was 1st Keswick runner home and a superb effort ensured 2nd place in her category behind Aly Raw (Bingley). Julie was followed by Cat Evans (18th), Holly Williamson (19th) and Kim Clark (9th FV50). A fantastic effort by all involved secured us 3rd team placing behind Todmorden and Dark Peak. Overall we currently hold 2nd place in the English Open Team Championship with only one race left (Shelf Moor 05 Sept 2010 5.9m/1500').
A huge well done girls (and to Chris Clark the solitary Keswick AC male)!
The race was won by Karl Gray MV40 (Calder Valley) in 2.24.18 and the ladies race was won by Lauren Jeska (Todmorden Harriers) in 2.49.31

Ian Boit, Mark Ruddeford and Paul Maxwell completed the 86 mile run of the Hadrian's Wall on Saturday 10th July in 23hours 16 minutes. Well done!!.
You can see pictures from the run here
You don't have to buy the book, you can just take a look and you can blow it up to full screen. I think a full report will appear in the next Pacemaker.

Road-racing round up
Catforth 10K –Nr Preston, Sunday 11th July
Just one Keswick AC runner spotted at this one; well done Rachel Slattery -92nd overall, 17th lady and 6th FV40 in 49.10.
Results here.
Pennine Lancashire 5K –Blackburn, Sunday 11th July
Given the nature of this event -EA English 5K Championship and Northen 5K Championship, there was a good chance of a fast race and so it proved, but the course and conditions denied runners the really super fast times some had hoped for.
A headwind on the return leg and a few good ‘bumps’ in the race profile though made for good racing and aquitting themselves well were Russell Maddams in a Horwich RMI vest (15:43), Steve Hebblethwaite (16:07) and Ian Davies who posted a respectable 16:48 for his first attempt at the distance. All three will be in the hunt for a fast race at the final Lancaster 5K at the end of next month -Steve allready setting a pb of 15:52 in May on this fast course, with Russell going 10 seconds faster at the June race.
Matt Barnes (Altringham & District) took the English and Northern titles with 14:11, Helen Clitheroe who had raced the 1500m in the British Grand Prix at Gateshead one day previously, taking the ladies titles with 15:45.
Full results here.
Endmoor 10K –Nr Kendal, Wednesday 14th July
Danny Parkinson of the host club Kendal AAC posted 33:34 for this undulating 10K course ahead of Wesham Road Runners Steve Littler and Charlie Pass. The first female was Michaela Dempsey also of Wesham in a time of 45:41.
Ian Davies took had a run out at this one following a day working down country, and posted a time of 37:05. We suspect it’s a pancake-flat pb course, though Ian assures us the race had a long uphill pull at the start and thunderstorms doing little to contribute to fast running.
Full results here.
Bodyfit 5K –Cockermouth, Wednesday 14th July
On the same evening, closer to home there was some success for Keswick AC at the Bodyfit 5K in Cockermouth, Steve Hebblethwaite winning the mens race -over a minute clear in 16:45, and Pippa Maddams with a comfortable victory in 6th place overall with 18:37.
Ian Addison (26:09) took the prize for 1st V75 and Kim Clark (23:07) took first FV50. Mark Denham-Smith jogged round with uncharacteristic restraint for 52nd in 23:51, with Sue Denham-Smith chasing him round for 77th place in 28:05.
A total of 127 runners dodged the showers to turn out for this race that is well worth a run next year -an enjoyable and scenic if undulating course, good atmosphere and a decent prize fund.

West Cumbrian Run –Cockermouth, Sunday 18th July
Over 500 runners took part in the inaugural ‘West Cumbrian Run’ organised by Big-Q Events Ltd. While turning a profit from the event the company also aims to raise £100,000 for charity, and doubtless many of the entrants are pulling on a pair of running shoes for the first time which is great.
The latest pre-race update on the West Cumbrian Run website this week read “Please note that this event is a North of England Athletics Association affiliated road race and has been accurately measured. The race distance is officially now 9.5 miles and not 10 miles as originally advertised.” A good PB course! Blengdale Runners Paul Curtis made light work of the 9.5 mile 10 miler to win in 57:16. There was success for Keswick AC in the ladies race with Sarah Bailey winning in a time of 1:11:52 –well done Sarah.

Club fell-championship race #2: Skiddaw, 9m/2700' -Sun. 4th July
The Skiddaw race today was a counter in the Keswick AC club fell-championship, and a great turnout of club members toed the start line in Fitz Park this morning, despite a gusting wind and heavy rain.
Photograph: Stu Stoddart/www.flickr.com
Further up on the hill the wind was even stronger and accompanied by driving rain. As the summit marshalls tried to approach the exposed top they were barely able to keep upright, crouched into the wind, and were forced to turn the runners at the gate below the summit plateau -a wise decision. These marshalls should be commended for their efforts today in what were pretty foul conditions.
There was some great competition for club-championship points right down the field and it was great to see strong Keswick AC mens and ladies teams claim the team prizes. Matthew Fraser, turning first at the top will be gutted not to have won the race, and Pippa who dominated the competition in the ladies race may be disappointed not to have run the full course in what would undoubtedly have been a fast time, though conditions today weren't particularly conducive to fast running. Well done all.
Thanks also to the other marshalls on the hill, and at those the start/finish, also the volunteers in the Keswick FC pavilion who looked after 140 dripping runners and refreshed them with tea and cakes.

1. Steven Cale (Shrewsbury AC) -59:58

IAAF Diamond League
A new circuit of elite athletics meetings known as the “IAAF Diamond League” began this year. The IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) intends the new Diamond League to enhance the worldwide appeal of athletics with fixtures outside Europe, in contrast to the Golden League of 6 meetings that it replaces, which has run annually since 1998.
The biggest stars of the sport have been engaged with centralised contracts to ensure that the best athletes take part. Athletes from 32 different athletics events compete with each event receiving the same prize money from a total fund of $416,000 per meeting.
The BBC has coverage via the 'red button' of the meeting tonight (9-11pm) at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon where amongst other events Chris Solinsky on home turf will take on a world class field that includes world leader (12:51:21) Eliud Kipchoge in the 5000m.
The remaining meetings are:
Lausanne (SUI) 08th July
Gateshead (GBR) 10th July (British Grand Prix)
Paris (FRA) 16th July
Monaco (MON) 22nd July
Stockholm (SWE) 6th August
London (GBR) 13th August (London Grand Prix -Crystal Palace)
Zurich (SUI) 19th August
Brussels (BEL) 27th August
At next weekends British Grand Prix in Gateshead Chris Thompson is expected to chase the European Championship qualifying 'A' standard of 13:20:00 in a 5000m race which is to include fellow Brits Mo Farah and Andy Vernon, as well as Kipchoge, Vincent Chepkok, Imane Merga and 2010 World Cross champion Joseph Ebuya. The meeting will be televised live on BBC2 at 4:30pm.
