The rain had
stopped and the ground had begun to dry out as 103
runners, the largest entry so far, set off on the
Tansley Hill Race on a pleasantly cool evening. The main
race was preceded by the ever-popular family fun
run.
The main event was won by last year's
runner-up, 15-year-old Kristian Edwards from Tamworth
A.C. Kristian is a very talented fell runner who is in
line for a future England junior team place. He was
closely followed by last year's winner Karl Webster from
Matlock A.C. Third was Aidan Winskill from Totley and
fourth was Mick Stenton from Dark Peak F.R. who has been
a good supporter of the race, having taken part in all
but one of the previous years'
races.
First lady was once more Christine Howard of Matlock
A.C. coming in eleventh overall and breaking her own
course record by two seconds. We were pleased to welcome
several members of the Fell Runners Association
committee including Alan Brentnall, well known in fell
running circles, who was first over sixty, and Madeleine
Watson first over forty. Also running was U.K.Athletics
committee member Ed Warner who was taking part in his
first fell race, came in 42nd and enjoyed
himself.
Prizes and trophies were presented at
the apres race BBQ at the Gate Inn.
In addition to the
main winners named below, a full set of results is also
now available on Tansley Village website.
