Congratulations to Tom Moss who has completed his BG in 23:39.
DPFR Bob Graham round weekend
It seems that Andrew Holt will be the sole contender when he sets off at 18:45 on Friday, 24th June. Andrew’s support needs beefing up a bit, as some of his existing support runners are due to run more than one leg, which isn’t ideal for ordinary mortals. An additional runner, and preferably more, on each of legs, 2, 3 and 4 would be great. I strongly recommend newer members of the club to head up to the Lakes for the BG weekend. It is, in my biased opinion, much the best club event of the year. Come rain or shine, supporting a contender on one of the legs gives you a great day out on the hill, travelling at a comfortable pace with the additional attraction of watching someone really suffer, all of which is followed by a night in the pub. However, be warned: You are likely to be inspired to set about doing the reccying and training required to become a contender in the future. What’s not to like? Andrew can be emailed here.

Lower Borrowdale Skyline. The second English Champs race, which featured a very healthy turn out of DPFR runners. Sarah McCormack (Ambleside) and Brennan Townsend (Keswick) were the race winners. Other results still need a bit of sifting but Majka Kunicka was 3rd F40, Alex Mason was 2nd MU23, Chet Gillespie 3rd MU23, John Hunt 2nd M55 and Dave Tait won the M75’s. Dark Peak were 3rd women’s team and 5th men’s team on the day, but an additional counter is used in the English Team Championship, so we’ll have to see. Results.
