Full Results including Juniors
A warm but overcast day saw 137 runners gather for the race up Weets. Shortly after the start, Danny Collinge had to drop out with an injured knee, which was a pity, as it was very competitive at the front and Danny would have been in contention with those leading runners.
As it turned out, Tom Corrigan had another cracking performance to comfortably run out the winner, ahead of previous race winner Sam Watson of Wharfedale. Third home was Julian Hood of Barlick.
In the ladies race, Sarah Tipler followed up her winning run last week with another top performance to once again take first place. She finished in front of Lynn Clough of Chorley and Ali Keats.
It was good to see some youngsters taking part in this race with Jordan Mcdonald taking the honours as first U18 and finishing 15th overall.
Barlick, running on their own midden, took both the men's and women's team prizes.
