It proved to be a pleasant evening for the Ellenborough 10K taking place from the Netherhall Rugby Club. A nice cool temperature was prevailing and the course was suitably sheltered to negate the worst of the blustery wind. It’s a testing loop with one particularly tough hill after the 4 mile mark. The undulating course leaves the Rugby Club and goes through the surrounding villages of Dearham and Birkby before returning to Netherhall.
Russell was suffering the after-effects of a nasty cold but still managed an excellent second place behind Ricky Lightfoot who we think set a new course record. Sue and Siobhan came away with category prizes despite Siobhan still feeling the effects of Dollar in her legs. There were no team prizes but a quick scan of the results seems to suggest we would have been close to both. And Ian was presented with a bottle of wine for being one of only two over 75s running the race.
