Race Organiser’s Report
With good conditions underfoot all runners enjoyed a fine day
out in the hills.
Will Horsley pipped Garry Owens at the post by the narrowest
of margins to win. Garry had once again used his local
knowledge to close the gap on Will as he veered up the wrong
track to Kidlandlee. Colin Hutt visiting from Carnethy, and new
to the area, was third man. He was impressed by the area and
the race and vowed to return with the family next year.
Sally Welsh, returning to the fells after a long lay off, was
first lady to finish.
The first thing to notice about the results this year is the
lack of runners. This was probably due to a clash of events with
the Beacon Hill Fell race on Thursday and this years Blaydon
Race taking place on the same day. This together with a new fell
race based on Hadrian’s Wall, probably led to the fall
in entries. Next year will be different; the Blaydon Race
will not directly conflict. But there is another possibility,
and that is the course. For next year’s race I would
like to extend the race around Wether Cairn to include more
fell and less forest track. It will mean a longer course, an
earlier start, 11: 00 a.m. and a slightly later finish. Any comments
are welcome.
