Todmorden Harriers placed 7 of their athletes in the top 11
of the Diane Modahl Brownhouse trail race in Rochdale. Tod's Kath Brierley took
top honours winning the ladies race with Paul Brannigan placed second in the
men's race.
Four time Olympic 800m runner Diane Modahl took part in the race. A
steep start on the road, turned into a rough ascent then 2 laps of Brownhouse
Reservoir before a hurtle back down to the finish.
Tod's Craig Stansfield set
the early pace, which was then taken up by Tod's Ivan Gee and then eventual
winner Alex McVey of Kestrel Super Flyers opened up a significant gap, which
Brannigan closed to just 9 seconds in the second half of the race.
Gee was 1st
V40, Stansfield 1st V45, Brannigan 1st V50, David Leslie 1st V60, Peter Erhardt
1st V65, Myra Wells 1st lady V55 and former English Fell Champion Moyra Parfitt
1st lady V65.
Tod's male performance of the night came from Rob Gray who was in
touching distance of much faster runners on paper. The race raised around £400
for the Diane Modahl Sports Foundation.
