What a day for @ellenborough_ac"The Shortest" which was simply continuous reps of Newlands pass for the duration of the Winter Solstice.Congratulations to Calum Tinnion (AKA the most handsome man in fell running) for taking the win with an impressive 17 run reps.Also to Shaun Atkinson for taking the "Soft Cunt" award with 16 bike reps and 1 run rep. To quote Shaun"This is great this, you knock your pan in all day in dreadful weather to get an award for being a Soft Cunt, smart".Regrettably there was no "Spirit of the day" award, but Chris Listers award for biggest hero of the day had to be Peter Kemp, who done 8 run reps and 8 bike reps on 3 different bikes, including one on an old Mongoose 25th Anniversary BMX.Thanks to all that came and took part, or hurled abuse while driving past in their nice warm car. What a club.#elbra 💪 ... See MoreSee Less

2 posts in a day. Who said miracles don’t happen. Anyway, Ricky Lightfoot seems to be finding his mojo and getting back into the swing of racing again. Today, he stepped up to the Kielder Marathon, 13 years after he last ran here. Believe it or not he was quicker today than 13 years ago. Taking 1st place in the process. Life in the old dog yet 😜. .Awesome stuff Ricky 🥇 ..#elbra 💪 ... See MoreSee Less

Always a special day out for the club. The HBMR (Hodgson Brothers Mountain Relay). 4 legs, each leg ran in pairs. One half of the pair always suffers more than the other 🥵 😂 Hopefully we all have to suffer being the slower of the two at some point. This year we were off the pace a bit. Various sh!t excuses were made on the drive through. Nobody listened and we just spent the day taking the p!ss out of each other. Leg 1 Joe BullAsh FryerLeg 2 Peter KempShaun AtkinsonLeg 3Chris ListerRich McGrathLeg 4Dava WilliamsWill HoughtonAnother great day out. Looking forward to next year already. Hopefully we’ll have a fully fit team that’s trained for it 😂 💪 #elbra ... See MoreSee Less
