Harrock Hill Race
Harrock Hill Fell Race
The second instalment of our fell racing champs is upon us.
Although this race qualifies as a fell race, I have heard it is more like cross country. It has 900 feet of climb if you like going up hill and 900 feet of decent if you like going down hill. If you like your races flat take 900 feet of climb from 900 feet of decent and you get zero.
The distance is 5.2 miles over various terrain so take a pair of good off road shoes.
This should be a good race for runners of all abilities and those of us new to the fells.
What better way to to spend this Wednesday evening than running through Lancashire's glorious countryside with friends.
Race registration is the Farmers Arms, Chorley Rd, Bispham Green, Nr Parbold, L40 3SL. The starts at 7.30 but the start is 0.6 miles away from registration so please allow plenty of time.
I have had a good level of interest in this race and it would be brilliant if we could have a good turn out. If you have any queries please Facebook me or I will be at the track tomorrow.
I look forward to seeing you all.

Horwich 5
On Wednesday evening another cracking turnout of 29 athletes competed in the 5th event of this year club champs the Horwich 5. After the change of course last year, this year had an easier edge to it but I think most will agree easy is not a term you would associate with this race. The weather on the evening was cool for mid May with a bit of a breeze. As you will see there was quite a few good performances and probably a few PBs in the mix.
Lewis Eccleston had another brilliant race as he out kicked Gareth Booth of Horwich RMI in the closing stages to claim 3rd place in a time of 26.41. Simon Ford followed Lewis home a few minutes later with what was another good run to cross the line 21st in 29.26. As seems the usual this season was Mark Riches and Shaun Moran finishing not far apart. This time Mark got the better of Shaun as they finished in 30.22 and 30.35 respectively. David Capner, posing for the cameras at the end of the first lap, had an excellent run to come home next in 30.56. Mike Reason was next to finish with 31.17 ahead of an improving Gary Stevens, after his return from injury, who crossed the line in 31.31. Dale Kenyon's identical twin brother Dave was making his second outing of the season as he completed in 31.49. Another steadily improving after returning from injury is Ian Newcombe as he finished with 32.42. Scott Christey carrying one or two niggles came home next as he got round in 32.56. Steve Eldrigde had a good run, possibly helped from training on the hills of Halifax, as he finished in 33.28. Next to the cross the finish line was our first lady home Josie Maley as she ran in 33.40 and was 6th lady. An improving Steve Foster was next with 34.16 and promptly won the Baron's run of the day to claim the highly sought after prize of a 2003 rugby world cup DVD. Following Steve home a few seconds later was Anthony Hart as he finished in 34.30. James Bentall had another good race to come home in 34.40. John Morton dipped under 35 minutes with 34.54. Paul Beardsworth was next back with 35.37. Jonathan Hall finished just behind Paul in 35.44. An seemingly under the weather Derek Coop came next to finish with 35.50. Carole Baines had the usual consistent good run to clock 36.06. Suzanne Gregory wasn't too far behind Carole as she completed in 36.30. Mike Geoghegan who enjoyed some sadistical treatment back at registration after the race (see pic) was next with 38.51. Kim O'Neil just got the better of Ian Bushrod as they both just dipped under the 40 minute mark with 39.57 and 39.59 respectively. Brenda Wane finished just behind this duo with 40.27. Jason Revill, with the what the hell am I doing here face on after the first lap, finished next with 41.21. Hill loving Barbara White finished next with 42.23 as she finished just ahead of the improving Cath Hodgetts who crossed the line in 42.42. And completing the A&T line up and I believe beating her nemesis in the process was Clare Unsworth who finished in 49.33
Next event on this years club champs calendar is the Three Sisters 5k hosted by Wigan Pheonix on Wednesday 12th June. This race some people will be glad to know is a little more forgiving. Hope to see you all there and hopefully I'll be running it myself!
