We are not just a fell club, we also have some good runners on tarmac. Brilliant performances by our two girls in these races.

Lancashireman Off Road Marathon - 29 September 2024
Written by GrahamThe Lancashireman is a 27 mile event covering the off-road moorland, tow paths, fields and hills along The Burnley Way. John Boothman's legs had not fully recovered from his 63 mile ultra race last week, but nevertheless he took on this challenge. The weather was perfect, but the going underfoot was boggy in places and the terrain was challenging.
Just put in a very good performance to finish 9th overall and first M60.

Saturday saw John Boothman take on yet another ultra challenge - this time the 63 mile route along the Cleveland Way coastal path from Guiseborough to Filey. There was a coolish North Easterly breeze and apart from mist in places. conditions were ideal. Once more, due to business and family commitments, John entered a long race without adequate training or preparation. He started well and completed the first 10 miles up to Saltburn by the Sea at a good pace and was going well. He continued in similar vein until he got to the halfway point just beyond Whitby but by Robin Hoods Bay, he was starting to feel tired, but despite this, even by Ravenscar, he was still clocking up a good time. However, that was 40 miles into the race and at that point, the lack of training began to take its toll. He was now going at a much slower rate and any thoughts of where any other vet 60s might be in the field receded into the background of his mind. It was then all about getting to the finish. The next major town was Scarborough and from a runners' point of view, crossing it to get to Cayton Bay seems like an endless trudge. But cross it he did and after a cup of hot chocolate, he started on the last leg to Filey. By this time it was dark and thick mist enveloped the coastal path to the point where you could barley see your hand in front of your face. In those conditions, all runners were reduced to walking and John was joined by a group of others who were slowly making their way to the finish. They stuck together as a group, but as they approached Filey, John conjured up a burst of energy from somewhere and broke free to actually finish the race at a good trot.
Afterwards, a tired John Boothman expressed a quiet satisfaction at having finished the race. Indeed, he had good reason to be satisfied as he finished the race in 26th position which was a vast improvement on the 43rd place which he achieved four years ago.

A good run by Emma Law saw her finish second in the half marathon and first F40. John Boothman finished third M60. He should have been second M60, but he forgot that it was a race and held a gate open for a chasing M60 who went on to finish in front of him. He needs a leaf out of the Ian Holmes racing manual. If you have to open a gate, remember to close it behind you and if that is in the face of a chasing runner, smile at him, just to let him know that there is no malicious intent.
In the 10K race, Nicola McNamara had a good run to finish 12th in the ladies' race and 2nd F40.

After completing the Ben Nevis Race yesterday, John Boothman took part in this race. He was part of a fund raising team, which included his eldest daughter Jenna and he held on to encourage her and they finished together.
