Hebden Bridge Fell Race

Hebden Bridge Fell Race took place last week starting in Calder Holmes Park. The race was won by up and coming Calder Valley Star Joe Crossfield , who came home a few minutes ahead of the next runner. 

Tod Harriers Rebecca Patrick stormed home to another convincing victory. It was a beautiful evening for running and was a just reward for those who decided to compete despite the poor weather earlier in the day. 

First Tod Harrier back was Rob Tyson in 16^th place. Other notable Toddie successes were Andrew Bibby (1st MV60) and Jane Leonard (1st LV55). 

Congratulations to Race Organiser Elise Milnes and her team for their excellent efforts.
