2009 event report
The weather was reasonably kind to us given the time of year anything can happen although everyone would agree that it was mighty cold ! a day later and we might well have had problems.
Course record holders and our pre race favourites this year Horwich in the absence of Borrowdale never really challenged and it was left to the host club along with Calder Valley and Todmorden to challenge for the honours.The overall record set by a Horwich team "on fire" in 2007 of 4.48.15 though is a good one and will take some beating. Todmorden were the early leaders closely followed by Rossendale although by the 3rd leg and with a record smashing run by Alex Whitten and Adam Breaks Calder Valley were starting to show their strength in depth. The host club Rossendale had a good lead though going into the final leg but the long climb and a bitter cold wind took its toll allowing the Calder Valley pair to come through to take the honours.They had a good day with two of the fastest legs, smashing the record on leg 3. Their ladies team were also clear winners in 28th place overall with 3 of the fastest legs and a new ladies record for leg 5 from Anne Johnson and Naomi Sharratt
The vets race was never in doubt as Clayton Le Moors Harriers Vets came home in 5th place overall with their Vets B team finishing 2nd vets overall in 13th. The mixed category is always hotly contested and it was Chorley Harriers who came out on top this year beating regular mixed team winners and mixed team overall record holders Pudsey and Bramley into second place.They had the consolation though of having the fastest leg overall on leg 5. Clayton also claimed the prize for first B team in 21st spot .
Shame on the person at the start who argued with our kit checker over his insistence that he carry hat and gloves, on a bitterly cold day in February at 1500ft above sea level they might just well be your best friend. The advice is if you dont like our kit requirements dont come next year.
We had a record entry this year of 85 teams and the parking at the leg changeovers seems to be just about at its limit. We might well have to impose a limit of teams entering next year. Entry will once again be online from November 1st
Many thanks to everyone who helped and special thanks to all of the team captains for entering and organising the teams.
Graham Wright.

Leg Records. Leg times for 2004 have been disregarded for legs 3 and 4 where we had "unsafe" times recorded on those legs.The Sportident "dibber" system now used makes times more accurate and easier to collect at changeover points.The new record for leg 3 is partly due to this leg having been shortened for 2008.
