Chris Smale 2nd and Rachel Villiers 1st lady.
Blacko is one of those few remaining fell races where everyone, including the juniors set off together. (Lothersdale next week, is another such race). The races is only 1.4 miles in length and as usual, the juniors set off at a pace, leaving the seniors to try and catch them. The old heads like Alan Life & Chris Smale (nice to see him back running again) know how to pace themselves and they finished in first and second places respectively. Shortly behind them in fifth position was James Tingle. Further down the field, Jack Villiers having set off with the rest of the cavalry charge, found himself in front of his mum. Having attained such a position, he was not going to relinquish it easily and he managed to hold her at bay until he reached the finishing line. Mum still finished first lady though.
