Caldervale 10 | Hollingworth 5k

Paul Brannigan and Robin Tuddenham made it a Todmorden Harriers one-two at Caldervale 10 road race near Garstang. Darren Tweed’s fine 11^th place ensured Todmorden Harriers took the male team prize too. 

Brannigan led from gun to tape on the undulating scenic course and spurred on by Tuddenham’s encouragement to break the hour finished the hilly course in 59.56. John Allan in his first foray away from the fells showed his road potential with a 24^th placing. 

Mel Whitmore was Tod’s sole lady runner coming in under the 90 minute barrier along with V65 Peter Erhardt. Tod’s Mick Craven set a new record for the most home-baked cakes eaten post race and demonstrated that for Tod Harriers it’s not just about the running.
