Report from OAC’s Liam Dunne:
Approx 370 runners gathered on a cold and very windy Penistone Hill, Howarth for the Soreen Stanbury Splash Fell Race (7.5 miles / 1,312′) with more results, report and photos from woodentops.
The start was like a scene from ‘Frozen Planet’ when the penguins huddled together to keep each other warm.
With conditions a bit muddy and slippy under foot and a few steep banks with stream crossings, it was more like a very hilly cross-country race.
Tom Adams (Ilkley) won the race in 45.45 and the first lady was Jo Buckley (Calder Valley) who finished 47th overall (55.36).
For OAC, Matt John was very well placed in ninth position (48.52), as too Liam Dunne 20th (51.21), Chris Stacey 104th (61.54) and Don Buffham 339th (85.19).
Results from woodentops.
