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
