Wadsworth Jubilee Fell Race | Burnley parkrun

The Wadsworth Jubilee Fell Race suffered the worst of the weekend weather on Sunday, but that didn’t stop over 50 runners taking to the hills above Hebden Bridge.


The 5 mile course followed an anticlockwise loop up and around High Brown Knoll.

Calder Valley’s Tim Black won in a time of 30:54 ahead of Holmfirth’s Alistair Rees.

Ivan Gee was the first Todmorden runner in third place, with Paul Hobbs in fifth place.

Calder Valley’s Holly Page was the first lady in 34:47, with Todmorden’s Sue Roberts finishing fifth lady.

Todmorden Results: 3 Ivan Gee 32.50; 5 Paul Hobbs 34.22; 23 Lee McCluskey 40.24; 31 Phil Cook 42.05; 36 David Leslie 44.57; 42 Sue Roberts 48.35; 43 Peter Ehrhardt 48.40; 50 Reg Czudek 51.25.



In the earlier junior races, two Todmorden runners Jack Crummett and Henry Antemes enjoyed a close battle in the U14 boy’s race with Jack eventually crossing the line ahead of his team mate.
