Export resultBoxing Day Bogtrot on Tue 26th Dec 1995
27 startersThis new event was designed to replace a club run that used to happen on boxing day and included running backwards up Jacobs Ladder. This event started at Oxstones on a glorious day with a very hard frost and brilliant sunshine. The start was delayed by the late arrival of the organiser with a group who ran up from Bents Green. There was a further delay because the start official had forgotten the maps and clipboard. The field decided that they knew the way so we set off (in several directions). The best was yet to come. The competitors were told to expect marshals on the checkpoints and to pick up tokens from said marshals. At the Cioch boulder competitors were presented with fresh eggs to carry back as proof of their visit. With the leaders getting more eggs as a handicap (4 eggs to Paul Sanderson he! He!). I knew I had a good scheme when I was passed on the green drive by Neil Bowler with egg yolk dripping through his fingers. This turned to immense satisfaction at the finish to see Mike Hayes using snow to clean out a horrible mess from his bum bag. Nice after all the indignities heaped upon us in Mike\'s mad races.
26 runners finished and one retired hurt. Thanks to the marshals on a cold day.
