To weekend of 2nd / 3rd October

South Mynd last Saturday wrapped up the 2021 English Championship. Keswick won the Men’s open team championship in a tie break ahead of Calder Valley with DPFR 5^th close behind Matlock. DPFR M40’s won Bronze medals in 3^rd behind Calder Valley and Helm Hill. DPFR M50’s were 4^th with another gold medal for Calder Valley. In the M60’s, DPFR finished 2^nd to Helm Hill but, as less than four clubs completed enough races, medals will not be awarded. DPFR women’s open team were 5^th with Helm Hill champions.

Individually, Harriet Wingfield (31^st=) and Josh Williams (34^th) were our leading runners in the open categories. Top 10 rankings in the age categories were achieved by Alex Mason and Will Carter (both 5^th=MU23), Pete Davies (10^th M40), John Hunt (2^nd M55), Andy Barnett (10^th M60), Keith Holmes (2^nd M65), Dave Tait (3^rd M70), Ken Jones (5^th= M70), new member Juliet Downs (3rd WU23), Emily Barnett (7^th= WU23), Alison Wainwright (10^th= W50) and Jane Crowson (6^th W55). Congratulations to all and especially the medal winners. Roll on the relay season
