Todmorden Harriers hit the trail in Reddish Vale with much success at the weekend. Thirty two Harriers joined over 300 runners at the first of the club’s grand prix races for 2013, the five mile ‘Hit The Trail’ race near Stockport.
John Lloyd was the first Harrier to finish, in third place, followed by Robin Tuddenham in seventh position and first v40.
Trevor Davies and Paul Brannigan finished seconds apart in 12th and 14th places respectively, and the quartet were comfortable winners of the men’s team prize.
Richard Blakeley added first v70 prize to the club’s haul.
Mel Blackhurst was the first Todmorden lady to finish, winning the v45 prize, followed by Claire Duffield. Issy Pollard was next across the line, as she won the v35 prize, and Jane Leonard who won the v55 prize.
Together the quartet won the ladies team prize, and Moyra Parfitt claimed the first v65 prize to round off a rewarding outing for the club.
