Click for pictures
The race is 8 miles, over the fells and becks around
Bolton-by-Bowland. There is 800 feet of ascent over the course.
The day dawned
bright in Bolton-by -Bowland for the annual Fell Race. Not so for
many of the entrants
who reported stormy journeys to get here.No such journey for last
years winner and local favourite, Thomas Cornthwaite, whose ambition
is to break the course record. Despite
an emphatic win, Thomas was 1½ minutes outside Sean Livesey’s
long standing time but the ground conditions were against Thomas
this year.Jon Wright and Adam Breaks fought out for the minor places
with Amy Green taking the ladies prize.The starting line up of 146
runners ensured a nice profit of approx £370.00.
This will go towards the maintenance of the village hall.
Thanks to all who helped; the local farmers, the race marshalls
and all those who donated the prizes which were shared between 30
category winners and runners up.
