It was almost perfect conditions for this race which saw Matthew Heppenstall of Settle Harriers, for the second time this week, race up to the summit of Pin Haw. As on Wednesday in the Lothersdale Race, he led the way to the top and back down to the finish, except that this time, he was chased by fellow team mate, Matthew Cardus. What a pair of runners to have in your club. They were followed home by our own Tom Corrigan who is always somewhere in the mix.
In the ladies race, the leaders were more space out, with April Thorpe, the winner, making the ascent to the summit look easy. She won the race comfortably, with Josephine Wells and Victoria Mousley following her home. The first Barlicker home was Paula Cullen.
