Burbage Skyline on Wed 17th May 1995

201 startersIn a summer of drought, this race was held on one of the wettest spring days I can remember. The main decision before the event was whether to wear gloves and thermals! Burbage Brook almost goes unnoticed in the melee of the first half mile but this year had runners tottering on the edge of the torrent until the unstoppable wave of bodies pushed them into the thigh deep water. Swollen rivers and deep bogs made for slow times but didn\'t stop some good packing with new recruit Stuart Oglethorpe being first Dark Peaker and several other new members featuring in the top 20. Behind him there were a number of good battles as the results show.

The race is hard and fast with four climbs rather than the more typical single up then down. Add to that a fast finish and you have a formula for some very tired runners as well as some good sprints for the line.
