The hot weather over the weekend made this an even more
challenging event than usual. Six Todmorden Harriers made the trip to Hayfield
for the 16 mile event, including 3300 feet of climb.
The
runners were taken from the start at the Scout Hut on Swallow House Lane to
Lantern Pike. They were then taken to Chunal Junction, Mill Hill, Kinder
Downfall, Edale Cross and Big Stone before returning to the Scout Hall. There
was little respite from the sun, with only the occasional cloud providing some
relief.
Craig Stansfield was the first Todmorden Harrier home in 2.15.02
finishing in 16th place overall.
The sole Todmorden lady was Kirsty
Patten who finished in 117th place in a time of 3.23.33. John Allan
was 46th finisher and second Todmorden male home in 2.35.32.
Andrew
Bibby (53rd in 2.38.34), Guy Witmore (81st in 2.56.28)
and David Wilson (120th in 3.24.42) completed the Todmorden males
complement.
Congratulations to all runners on what has a tough day for running.
