Rather wintry conditions greeted runners yesterday for the pre-season running of this English Championship race due to take place in June.
With plenty of snow underfoot to ensure freezing cold boggy sections and challenging descents I think it was reminiscent of Noon Stone last year....
With only a small field of 59 finishers keeping someone in sight who knew the route was the biggest challenge! Thankfully most folk seemed to manage this and were rewarded for their efforts with soup, flapjack and tea supplied by hosting club Ambleside AC.
A good handful were out in yellow & green and a few prizes were collected in the process. Rob Jebb (Bingley) & Hazel Robinson (Ambleside AC) won the mens and ladies races respectively, both by a clear margin. Keswick results:
9th Jamie Luxmore 1.20.40
26th Richard Scott 1.35.46
27th Helen Winskill 1.38.54
28th Jo Gillyon 1.38.59
40th Neil Elsender 1.46.28
52nd Debbie Thompson 1.58.10
54th Sarah Bailey 2.00.53
57th Chris Clark 2.04.59
58th Kim Clark 2.05.11

Terrific race & superbly organised. And for anyone planning to do it in June it is definitely worth reccying.
