The club’s Road Championship got underway on Sunday in icy conditions at the hilly Meltham 10k, with both of last year’s club champions leading the way.
The reigning men’s road champion Robin Tuddenham shrugged off the previous day’s efforts to lead the club in with fifth place overall, followed by Paul Brannigan in 38th position.
Darren Graham also showed good recovery to edge out Darren Tweed for 46th and 47th places respectively.
The first Todmorden lady to finish was last year’s ladies trophy holder Sarah Glyde in 97th place, and third v35 lady.
Richard Blakely was next over the line in 169th position, taking the men’s v65 prize.
Mel Robertson had an excellent run to complete the distance as first v50 lady half a minute ahead of Elise Milnes who was second v50 lady.
