Todmorden Harriers put on a good performance with four runners in the top ten at the Flower Scar Fell Race last Wednesday, with Sean Carey going closest of the home runners to adding another win to his collection. However, it was Todmorden postman and Calder Valley runner Alex Whittem who triumphed for the second consecutive year at the finish.
The four mile race features a tough 1400 feet of ascent as the race climbs from Todmorden High School grounds up to Flower Scar Hill and back, via Robinwood.
The club had a good turnout of runners in the 100+ entry taking advantage of the free entry, in addition to many other Harriers assisting race organiser Jon Wright.
Whittem won the race in a time of 28:54 with Carey pushing him all the way. Calder Valley’s James Logue was third, in 29:45, with Todmorden’s Andrew Wrench 4th. After Clayton le Moors Jack Dugdale had crossed the line in 5th, the local domination continued with Calder’s Steve Smithies 6th and Todmorden’s Nick Barber 7th, and Paul Hobbs 10th.
Halifax’s Carole Fryer finished first lady ahead of Calder’s Clare Kenny. Todmorden’s first lady was Jane Leonard, ahead of Jeanette Dowling and Issy Pollard.
