The old Embsay BOFRA race is no longer held as there was a dispute with a local land owner. However, there is now a new race up Embsay Crag organised by James Tiffany. It attracted two Barlickers, Robert Cranham and John Boothman and was his first race after the Spine.
Robert Cranham was in 10th place at the start of the climb and whilst some people seemed to struggle with the heat, he felt fine and starting picking off runners one by one until he found himself in 3rd place at the summit. He was determined not to lose that place on the descent and although he chased hard, he could not quite catch Jonny Winstanley in 2nd place.
3 Robert Cranham 23:11 (1st M45)
17 John Boothman 27:48 (1st M60)
