Hallam Chase on Mon 28th May 1990

47 startersA cool damp evening for, what is reputed to be, Britain's oldest fell race. However the earlier light rain had done little to affect the hard ground. Den Bank was as exciting as ever with little grip on the dusty path over the edge. Alan Yates stormed up Den Bank to take the lead with just half a mile remaining but Steel City Striders found the final road section in their favour and Alan eventually finished fourth.

More than one person from Hallamshire and Sheffield AC pronounced Shaun Hird as unbeatable before the race. Dark Peakers knew better having seen Mike Jubb's record on Back Tor a few weeks earlier. Mike finished over 30 seconds ahead of Shaun and was less than thirty seconds from winning the handicap race itself. Unfortunately, plans to redevelop Hallam Sports Ground for housing threatens the future of this race.
