2021 Race Report
It was a pleasure to see 42 runners set off for the first running of this race. It was even more of a pleasure to see all of them finish and stand around smiling and chatting about the many route choices that this race gives.
Huge congratulations to our winners and new course record holders, Meghan McCarthy, DFR (1:11:45) and Chris Alborough, soon to be DFR (52:37). The ladies race was particularly close with Marie Louise Ridley with an impressive run to be first V50, just 20 seconds behind Meghan.
Swaledale put out a strong team and, had I got around to sorting out a team prize, would have won it by one point from DFR. I will arrange a couple of boxes of ale for Swaledale when I next see them.
It’s worth pointing out that Chris Alborough has come from a road running background and now has an impressive 2 wins out of 2 starts in his fell running career following a win at Cronkley Fell Race earlier this year. I am left wondering how good he will be when he buys himself a pair of fell running shoes!
I hope everyone had a great race, if there are any comments on how I can improve things for next year please let me know. Hopefully see you all on Sunday 11th December 2022.
