Race Report

This year’s Derwent Hilly 10 Km Road Race took part on a warm sunny evening, with good views of the Western Lakeland fells. In the Senior Men’s race there was a close race between Steve Angus of Border Harriers (34:27) and Des Morris of CFR (34:36), with the result in doubt almost until the finish was in sight. Gary Dean of Border Harriers finished in 3^rd place (36:49), with Paul Jackson of Cumberland AC (37:25) just out-sprinting the steadily improving Paul Curtis of Blengdale AC for 4^th place. First Veteran (Over 40) was Jed Harris of CFR in 6^th overall (37:58) with the 1^st Junior Man Kevin Kirkham finishing 7^th overall (38:28). Second Junior was Neil French from Whitehaven competing for Seaton AC (44:32) narrowly pipping Chris Davis (44:33).

First Derwent AC runner overall was Peter Daley (12^th overall in 40:21) with recent London Marathon finisher Tony Davis 13^th overall (40:34). Roger Grey of Cumberland AC won the Super Veteran Over 50 category (40:40) ahead of CFR runner Steven Sharp (40:58) and Keith Thompson of Derwent AC (41:03). Derwent AC runners filled the first two places in the Ladies category, with Tracy Walker 1^st (40:45) and Kirsty Murdoch 2^nd. (41:13). Third Lady was Helena Bramwell from Carlisle (45:05). Jen Watson (Blengdale AC) showed she is on the way back to full fitness after a serious injury just over a year ago, finishing 8^th Lady overall.

As well as competitors from local running clubs, there were several competitors who ran in the event as part of their holidays in the Lake District. As this is a very hilly course, even for Cumbria, hopefully everyone enjoyed the challenge of completing the course!
