Warts' Winter Challenge on Wed 28th Jan 1998

29 startersThis year, the race had a new route, with a more \'homely\' feel about it. There was more climbing and path running than in previous years. The Burbage Valley is regarded as the back garden for many Sheffield runners, and the route wandered around this area. Although roads were never far away, you could certainly get off your intended line, or make poor route choices, but you could never really get lost for long. For once, the weather was clear and frosty, making the times fast. There was an excellent turnout, and a good time had by all.

The first 2 runners back, Alastair and Oli, had very fast times, but unfortunately did not find the top of the Plummet, on Higger Tor plateau, so had to be disqualified. However, in their defence, I will say that they would probably have still won if they had got the route right!
