Mearley Clough Fell Race [English Champs] | The Fellsman | Great Manchester Run
Lauren Jeska stormed to victory in the ladies race at the Mearley Clough Fell Race, which formed the second round of this year's English Fell Championships. The 3.5 mile race featured over 1200 feet of steep ascent as it climbed from Worston up the north side of Pendle Hill, near Clitheroe.
Lauren quickly established herself at the front and held an unassaible lead as she began the descent, eventually crossing the line with a winning margin of over a minute.
The win was sufficient to take her to the top of the Ladies standings for 2011 after two of the six races, with Calder Valley's Helen Fines and Holmfirth's Helen Berry close behind.
Sarah May finished in 12th and Kath Brierley completed the course in 34th place to help the ladies team into second place on the day, allowing them to retain their lead at the top of the Team Championships.
In the separate men's race that followed, the first Todmorden runner was Jon Wright who finished in 33rd place.
Nick Barber and Alistair Rhodes-Dawson had a close battle throughout, to finish 64th and 66th respectively.
