Our Celebration Evening wasn’t the only thing on this weekend – we had 3 members braving the elements at the wonderful and very challenging Brough Law Fell Race and one leading the charge at Carlisle Half.
The race was organised by our very own Mike Steven, with recce’s the day before and early morning to ensure it was safe to go ahead and fortunately, it was!
The run starts in the car park of Ingram Valley, climbing steeply from the valley itself – it’s a lung bursting and energy sapping start but once up the steep slope the views are worth it. We had two runners who braved the windy conditions; Richard Houghton finishing in 34th place 50:50 a solid start to his fell running career and James Sunley finishing 80th place with a time of 1:04:56.
Luke Hillard continued his impressive form with a 6th place finish at Carlisle Half Marathon, an undulating course and tricky conditions didn’t slow Luke down who finished with a time of 1:15:08.
