Cumbria XC League 2011 race #1: Cockermouth -Sat 8th Oct

The first fixture in the 2011-12 Cumbrian cross country calendar took place on Saturday afternoon. Over one hundred athletes from clubs across the county and from under 11 to V65 tackled the testing Cockermouth course, dampened by showery rain -fitting conditions for the opening fixture of the season.


Keswick AC was well represented and indeed, came away with the spoils in a number of categories, including individual and team wins in both the senior men's and women's races.

Mid Lancs League Race #1: Barrow -Sat 30th Oct

The first race of the 2010/11 Mid Lancs Cross Country League took place at Barrow in Furness on Saturday. A week of heavy rain prior to the weekend had made for sodden conditions on parts of the course and a true test for all the competitors. There was a good turn out of young athletes in the junior races -104 boys, and 107 girls took part in U11, U13, U15, and U17s races. This was followed by 104 senior ladies, and 200 senior men.


Winner in the senior ladies race was Susan Samme (Lytham St Annes RRC) -ranked 4th fastest V45 in the UK over 1500m this year and 17th over 10K, she made light work of the 6K course, clocking a time of 20:10. Keswick AC ladies were represented by Sam Ayers who ran a competitive race placing 16th, and 4th FV40 in a time of 22:40.

By the beginning of the mens race at 2.30pm the course was well cut up -already having seen half a dozen races, and conditions underfoot were dire making for an enjoyable and challenging 9K of running. Border Harrier James Douglas finished first, in a time of 30:29. Steve Hebblethwaite and Ian Davies were the only two male representatives from the club -Steve was pleased with a solid run in a time of 31:01 for 3rd, while Ian having a tough time of it with an injury to the foot, soldiered round for 57th in 36:30.

Full results online here.

The remaining fixtures in the Mid Lancs League are:

Sat 13 Nov -Blackburn
Sat 27 Nov -Liverpool
Sat 22 Jan -Burnley
Sat 12 Feb -Blackpool
Sat 12 Mar -Skelmersdale

Cumbria XC League Race #2: Penrith -Sat 23rd Oct

A clash of fixtures on the opening weekend of the 2010 Cumbria XC League meant Keswick AC was unable to field full strength teams as they begun their defence of the 2009 League men's and women's titles at Cockermouth last week (16th Nov).


This was far from the case at Penrith on Saturday as the ladies (Sam Ayers, Jo Gillyon, Deb Edgington, Hayley Hodgson and Kim Clark) took maximum points in the Senior Women's race, while not to be outdone, Keswick AC's men recorded a 1-2-3 in the Senior men's race, only to be denied maximum team points by the pack system whereby two Border Harriers runners had set off with 5 minute, and 2 and a half minute advantages over the main pack.


In an exciting U13 Boys race over 3500m, Mark Donovan came out 2nd in a time of 12:11, Joseph Horne running well for 8th in 13:46, while brother Arran took a super 3rd place in the U11 Boys (1800m). Photographs are now online at www.sportsunday.co.uk

Club fell-championship race #3: Borrowdale Fell Race, 17m/6500' -Sat. 7th August

In less than ideal conditions today, the clag down and going underfoot soft after recent rain, Simon Booth recorded his 12th Borrowdale victory in a time of 2:52:42. A word here should also go to Pippa, who was only five minutes away from the 1997 record in a great 3:19:42 -a strong run given the going underfoot.

Runners gathered in the field opposite the Scafell Hotel following the race to swap tales of woe -of injuries sustained over Scafell and down the corridor route, bravely carried for the remainder of the course, or in unfortunate cases requiring retirement, and of bad lines taken in the low cloud, around Glaramara and Allen Crags, over Scafell Pike, and off Green Gable. It is perhaps worth bearing this in mind when scrutinising the results below.

Today's race was the third of four in this year's club fell-championship. Updated tables will be online soon, going into the final race at Dale Head on September 19th.

1. Simon Booth (Borrowdale FR) 2:52:42

1= Ambleside (2. J. Reedy 8. H. Robinson and 32. B. Sendlhofer =42)
2. Dark Peak (4. Nicky Spinks, 11. Liz Batt, 28. Julie Gardner =43)

Does anyone know how teams are separated in the event of a tie? The position of the last counter or first counter perhaps?

Well done also to Craig for taking one and a half hours off his previous best of 6:03:55 set in 2006.

Full results and splits HERE.

The next counter in the English Championship is the short race, Sedbergh Three Peaks on June 26th, also a British Championship counter. This is followed by the British Championship medium race at Dollar on 31st July when entries will be available on the day.

Blencathra, 8m/2700’ –Wednesday 2nd June

A good turnout from Keswick AC at this midweek race on Wednesday last week. Some folk even doubling up on the Two Riggs race the previous night, which along with a stern will also requires the ability to coax complaining legs to co-operate.

Coiners –Monday 4th May

One that missed our radar: Keswick AC junior Mark Donovan had an absolutely cracking race last month at the Coiners race in Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire. Clocking 16:22 for the 1.9m/400ft course, Mark placed 2nd behind Seth Waterman of Holmfirth who currently leads the FRA 2010 junior championship in the U12 category. Well done Mark.

An new online list of junior races is now being maintained HERE.
