Comment.:-

Believe it or not the ‘winter wonderland’ setting of snow and ice was an improvement in running conditions. I heard a lot of remarks at the event how the going was slow (true) but I must point out that in the previous week the going was extremely muddy, so much so that you would have had to opt to duck and dive through the trees in the top section or progress through mud which was well over ankle deep and paddle across wet areas often 30 metres long in flood water! The usual few fallen trees made life interesting. What we didn’t anticipate was a group of 100 walkers who had little awareness of runners and were only intent on socialising. I’ll just recount one incident. One of the walkers had slipped over on the early descent down Belmangate Bank the others crowded round blocking the wide path as runners rounded a corner of an icy descent they had to use walkers backs to brake and jump over the inert obstacle. On being asked to keep a way open it just seemed beyond their comprehension!
In the race itself it proved to be one of the most competitive for many years. Charles Stead led for the first two laps hotly pursued by Paul Lowe and Kevin Sheppard. There was little between them until the third lap when Charles was overtaken by both his pursuers on the quarry section. Paul then stretched out a winning margin very gradually over the last half lap. I’m only too pleased that the walkers did not arrive until half way down the field on the last lap! This was Paul’s fifth win in this event and I believe that if I consult my archives I will find that both the first two have won the junior race.
In the women’s event it was a battling first lap between Alison Raw and Kendra White with little between them. Alison moved ahead on the second lap particularly after the quarry climb. Alison eventually came home a comfortable winner. Kendra has done extremely well recently in the ultra distance events beating many of the men who were ahead of her today.
In the Junior Races Luke Kelton demonstrated his excellent ability on the hills winning by a comfortable margin. This confirms him as North East Hill Running Champion in the ‘Novice’ age group. This performance saw him finish ahead of The Intermediate Champion Paul McNally and Silver medalist Chris. Maynard.
Silver medal in the novice category goes to Kristian Shaw with the Bronze being gained by Ben Henderson.
Hannah Bruce of Mandale ran an excellent race to show her potential winning the Junior women’s race by a clear margin from Gemma Bramley the North East Intermediate Hill Running Champion. Congratulations to Gemma particularly for her overall performance this year which now includes North East medals in two throwing events and a Hill Running Championship. She may well be a future heptathlete! Well done Gemma.

Best Wishes
