Buttermere Sailbeck
Some great Keswick performances on Saturday at this tough medium hosted by Mike and Hazel Robinson.
The route packs an impressive 4650' into 9.5 miles starting and finishing in Buttermere and taking in the summits of Knott Rigg, Causey Pike, Sail, Crag Hill and finally Whiteless Pike.
The weather didn't seem to dampen spirits (everything but!) and first home in the mens race was Simon Booth (Borrowdale), Becky Law (Eryri) took the honours in the ladies race. No other results to hand but I am sure these will be available soon.
Well done to all who ran.

Keswick Half Marathon -Sunday 1st May
A big turnout from Keswick AC for the second race of the 2011 Club Road Championship -well done to all 28 including Phil Winskill and Sam Ayers who took maximum points in the mens and ladies Championships.
Yesterday's race had looked likely to open up the competition for the Road Championship, a half not fitting into everyone's training/racing plans at this time of year, and so it proved with a few absences amongst both the men and ladies. With neither Phil or Sam having run the first race at Lancaster 3 Bridges, the 2011 Championship has opened right up at the top of the table while the competition for the age categories is also looking keen.
Full Club Championship tables to include Keswick Half will be available shortly. The next race in the 2011 Road Championship is the Lambfoot Loop 10K in Cockermouth on 24th May, before continuing with the Bodyfit 5K (also Cockermouth -13th July), Lancaster 5K Series race 4 (27th August), and Brampton-Carlisle 10 (20th November). Best 4 races from 6 to count.

Keswick AC Club Championships continue this week with Keswick Half and Dockray-Hartside.
This Sunday 1st May the second race of the 2011 Club Road Championship takes place -Keswick Half Marathon (race details here). Eighteen Keswick AC members contested the first race in the Championship at the Lancaster 3 Bridges 10K earlier this month, and an even greater club turnout is expected on Sunday. Entries are available on the day with registration open from 9-11am and the start (a "15 minute walk" from the rugby club) at 11.30am.
Next week (Wednesday 4th May) sees the second race in the 2011 Club Fell Championship with at the minor classic, Dockray-Hartside (details here). The course has 2000' of climb over 6 miles, as well as a fair amount of route choice -once off the track after the first 1/2 mile, much of the route is over little more than sheep trods, with better lines to be found over the open fell in many parts, and a fast final descent off Common Fell. The race starts at 7pm, outside the Royal Hotel in the centre of the village. Parking/registration is at the quarry car park (GR 397211) 500 yards down the road towards Patterdale. Runners are requested not to park at the Royal until after the race.
Both the Road and Fell Championships in 2011 consist of six races, best four results at any distance to count.
