Withins Skyline Fell Race

Todmorden Harriers enjoyed a successful Sunday winning both the men’s and ladies team prizes at the Withins Skyline Fell Race at Haworth. Despite the sunny weather, there were still plenty of boggy sections to negotiate.

The 7 mile course headed out from Penistone Quarry to climb up to Oxenhope Stoop Stone. After a flat section across the moors passing Top Withins ruin the runners descended to Bronte Bridge and a steep climb back up past the waterfalls. They then returned to the finish with a final steadier climb taking the day’s total ascent past the 1000 feet mark.

The Harrier’s men put in a strong showing with 5 finishers in the top 20. Sean Carey, Andrew Wrench, and Nick Barber crossed the line in quick succession. Alistair Rhodes-Dawson and Dwane Dixon were not far behind.


The ladies took the team prize with Sarah May, Sarah Warburton and Jane Leonard – who was also first v50.

Todmorden Results: 8 Sean Carey 45.53; 10 Andrew Wrench 46.02; 11 Nick Barber 46.07; 16 Alistair Dawson 46.43; 18 Dwane Dixon 46.55; 53 Dave Collins 50.20; 72 Martin Stork 52.00; 98 Martin Roberts 54.18; 101 Sarah May 54.28; 150 Simon Gallaway 58.03; 157 Angus Barclay 58.54; 165 Sarah Warburton 60.01; 188 Peter Clarke 61.39; 195 Keith Parkinson 62.03; 198 Richard Leonard 62.19; 230 Jane Leonard 64.48; 236 John Metcalf 65.14; 240 Emma Osenton 65.30; 265 Elise Milnes 67.53; 280 Peter Ehrhardt 69.04; 281 Stuart Boulton 69.06; 287 Graham Milnes 70.09; 293 Maria Prescott 71.10; 296 Patsy Riley 72.18; 299 Sue Roberts 72.46; 309 David O'Neill 74.29; 315 Barry Chapman 75.16; 317 Mandy Goth 75.28; 322 Melanie Robertson 77.40; 326 Julie Wyant 78.52; 330 Shaun Pickard 79.20; 339 Myra Wells 81.35; 341 Kathy Bridger 82.42.
