It was a pleasant sunny evening for this race, maybe a bit too warm for ideal running conditions, but it nevertheless attracted 218 entrants. 

The race was easily won by Chris Holdsworth who built up a good lead on the ascent and he ran out an easy winner.  He was followed home by Tom Corrigan, running his second race in two days and he too had a comfortable lead over third placed Adam Wale.  With four runners in the top ten, Barlick easily won the team prize.

In the ladies race, Laura Hesketh had a long lead over the chasing pack and took the honours without any difficulty.  It was good to see Jacqueline Collins get rewarded for all her recent hard work by taking third place and she was closely followed home by Lucy Brown.  Rossendale won the team prize.
