There was a good turnout for this popular night event and they were rewarded by good conditions for a pleasant evening's running. Sam Watson of Wharfedale came home first, but he had to admit that he was pushed all the way by living legend and Vet 50, Ian Holmes. Just behind those two was Marcus Preedy of Rossendale.
First home for the ladies was Annie Roberts of Todmorden.
The winner of the guess your time was James Allard of Wharfedale whose guess was just three seconds out from his actual time.
Special mention must go to Jackie Collins who had serious problems with her hip and whilst most people would have dropped out, limped back and settled for a DNF, she showed her renown mettle and grit and soldiered on to the finish.
As, always, thanks must go to the Pendle Inn for their usual warm welcome.
