This is a new race this year, organised by Trawden AC and it was just a bit of a tester. It is 26.2 miles with 4,495 ft of ascent and similar to the Yorkshireman. Next year this race will be on the 22nd September 2019 under the guise of The Lancashireman!
Tim Piggot set off at a steady pace which he maintained throughout the race and took the victory. John Boothman surprisingly found himself in second place, but he had to battle as it is a while since he ran such a distance.
