Todmorden Harriers were faced with testing conditions at the Great Lakes Run, which formed the third round of this year’s English Fell Championships on Saturday.
With driving rain, raging rivers to cross and summits shrouded in cloud runners were faced with considerable additional challenges, to that of the tough 21 kilometre course that crossed several Lakeland peaks including Scafell and Scafell Pike totalling over 2000 metres of ascent.
Lauren Jeska seemed little affected by the conditions as she not only finished first lady, but broke the course record as well, completing the course in 3:28:38 and 40th overall of the 273 finishers.
Sean Carey was the first Todmorden man over the line in 71st with Geoff Read in 112th place.
Lucy Burnett finished 10th lady, and 118th overall, and Jane Leonard finished 14th lady to lift the ladies into 2nd place on the day.
Todmorden Results: 40 Lauren Jeska 3:28:38; 71 Sean Carey 3:52:10; 112 Geoff Read 4:17:45; 118 Lucy Burnett 4:19:49; 126 Nick Barber 4:24:36; 126 Dwaine Dixon 4:24:36; 128 John Lloyd 4:24:38; 147 Phil Hodgson 4:33:41; 150 Jane Leonard 4:37:23; 177 Mark Whitaker 5:02:28; 210 Sue Roberts 5:39:06; 229 Helen Hodgkinson 5:49:15; 247 Fiona Armer 6:03:51; 247 Mandy Goth 6:03:51.
