The cool, calm weather on Saturday provided perfect running conditions for athletes to take on the challenge of the 1000 feet of elevation provided on the five mile course.

91 competitors raised a magnificent £1600 for the MMRT and among the enthusiastic participants were three Springwell RC members.

Adele Tomb was first home in 53rd with a time of 43:27, club captain Carolyn Crawford was 61 st in 45:42 and Conor Duffy was 77th in 50:26.
