This is an old fell race which goes back to the Victorian era. It was common in those days for juniors and seniors to run together and with this race, that tradition has continued to the present day. Being a short up and down fell race, it favours the juniors and so it proved today. Will Pease, a very promising U13 junior took on all comers and managed to hold one of the Jebb family at bay to take the overall race win. In the women's race, it was again a junior who took the honours, with Under 13 runner Bethan Buckley leading them all home. In fact 6 runners out of the top ten finishers were juniors.
The weather was good for this race, which is why the show was moved from September and it was run in an nice atmosphere with many family members all taking part together. It also attracted runners from far afield and perhaps some were on holiday in the area.
