On Saturday several Harriers made the trip to Pendle Hill for the 4.5 mile short fell race.

Starting from Barley, the route takes runners part way to the summit, before a steep descent and a second climb back up the steep side of Big End, finishing with a fast descent back to the village.
Marcel Ellison led the way for the club with 48th place in a strong field as many used the race as a sharpener for next week’s British Championship race.

Dan Taylor shook off his efforts from the previous day for 131st just ahead of Mark Whitaker in 153rd.

Jane Leonard was the first Todmorden lady in 187th with Louise Abdy crossing the line for 250th position.

Todmorden Results: 48 Marcel Ellison 39:23; 131 Dan Taylor 46:34; 153 Mark Whitaker 48:02; 187 Jane E. Leonard 51:12; 250 Louise Abdy 1:01:53.
