Lews Castle Parkrun & Leanne Fund Charity 10k – Sat 3 June
From Alison Bennett… Whilst waiting for the ferry from Stornoway on Saturday I decided to take part in the Lews Castle parkrun. There were a number of other tourists taking part in this scenic out-and-back undulating course which followed the shore before heading around trails in the park. Although we were relatively few in number […]
Grasmere Gallop – Sat 3 June
From Helen Waddington… A glorious day for this well organised race which was one of many options on offer as part of the OMM weekend. I opted for the 17k with 1,200 feet of elevation which took in a loop of Loughrigg Fell and covered a mix of trail, typical Lakeland rocky paths, a bit […]

Pen-y-ghent Fell Race – Sat 3 June
From Geoff Howard… Pen-y-ghent looked its glorious best on Saturday afternoon as 146 of us gathered to see what impression we could make on its flanks. A well organised typically welcoming fell event (AM 6.8m & 1,590’). The dry conditions meant firm footing and that the expected boggy bits on the gradual rise to the […]

Kempton Park Marathon – Sun 28 May
From Geoff Howard… A bit rusty regarding all things marathon, but I had a go at achieving a ‘good for age’ London Marathon qualifying time on Sunday at Kempton Park along with only 73 others. A somewhat idiosyncratic eight lap course, I’d planned to run at 35mins/lap pace giving 4h 40s (25mins within the target […]
