With much of the fixture list abandoned due to the heavy overnight snowfall
it was always going to be difficult for race organisers to put something on.
However Harrogate parkrun, with an adjusted course, put on a run for those who
wanted to, it even attracted some runners from their own parkrun which had been
cancelled due to that same snow.
First across the line for Nidd Valley Road
Runners was Paul Eagling 22.40, again showing his brother, Dan Eagling 23.11, a
clean pair of heels. Next in were Jon Reast 29.32, Tony Ledwaba-Chapman 29.54
and Sue Reast 32.12.
Another race which survived the weather was the Ferriby 10 mile road
race over in East Yorkshire, a popular race with Andy Todd who has become a
regular participant. Andy ran strongly for a time of 64.54.
A late result in is
from the Hebden 22 mile race, an off road route which this year had the added
challenge of deep, uninterrupted snow. Not one to shy away from a challenge,
Emma David showed true grit and completed the route in 4 hours 51
minutes.
