New races and seasoned runners go hand in hand. The Three Lakes Classic at
Rother Country Park tempted four Nidd Valley Ladies to give it a go with its
country location and superb vistas. Philippa Moorse has been racing the longer
race and this 15 miler suited her finishing in 2:32.05, Debbie Gibson was back
next in 2:36.47 followed closely by Annie Sweeting 2:37.06 and Judy Greenwood
2:50.44.
A fell race not commonly heard of locally is Model Hebog and Mark and Emma
David showed their expertise over the 4.2 mile route, climbing 2461 feet along
the way. Mark crossed the line in 86.22 and Emma in 94.20. Mark also ran at
Buckden Fell Race, a slightly less arduous route in 55.31.
More locally Staveley Stampede had a good turn out, Jillie Townend was
first back for the club in 56.35, Aimi Blueman next in 60.46(pb) and Pam Bagot
61.09.
