Back Tor and Back on Mon 28th Apr 1986

Each time we run this race the conditions seem to get worse, but the "quality" of the field improves. This time over 75% finished within 30 minutes. Making competitors actually run around the trig earns the marshal 1 an endless stream of abuse, but watching the routes chosen provides plenty of fun to compensate for a very wet and windy spot in which to stand. For the record, whilst most competitors ended up on their hands and knees, one person "ran through" the checkpoint without breaking his stride thus demonstrating yet again the virtues of local Knowledge. Congratulations to the winners; Rob Pearson, Clare Crofts and especially Dave Cartwright of Penistone, who came in 3rd overall and demolished the previous veterans record. Andy Moffatt's 4th place only 37 seconds behind Rob also deserves a special mention as he ran out to the start from Lodge Moor over the fells carrying an enormous rucsac (though 1 believe he took it off for the race!). Many thanks to all who turned up to run. Next year we'll be switching to Wednesday 29th April as agreed
