This race was from Wooler to Melrose on the Scottish border, climbing 6,200ft, in temperatures up to 27 degrees with no breeze. Thunderstorm 5 miles from the finish was refreshing but made the terrain difficult, as it was then very muddy clay banking to descend into Melrose.

It is great to see the parents of our juniors taking part in the senior races and like everything else in life, the more you do of something, the better you get. And some of these parents are definitely getting into this fell running.
And what a great family day out this makes.

Lorraine Slater and Emma Taylor took part in this race in very hot and humid conditions. It was so tough, far worse than last year as the times show.

Four Barlickers took on this race which is used by many as a practice for the main race in 3 weeks time. The race sets off at 7pm and you go straight to the top of the Llanberis pass where the finish is at the summit and get greeted with the best views the UK has to offer. An absolute treat of a race.

This race is something completely different. The race starts at Bury station on the East Lancashire Steam Railway. On the whistle the runners set off north. The train sets off south, changes tracks and then sets off north in pursuit of the runners. Friends and supporters can enjoy the ride on the train, shouting encouragement to the runners as they both make the eleven mile journey up to Rawtenstall station.
Jon Cleaver took part and fought a hard race, with the first three finishers constantly changing places until the last mile, where Craig Jones of Manchester YMCA managed to edge ahead, nudging John into second place. As regards the train, it was no contest, Jon beat it by 34 minutes.
