Well who would have thought it would have taken this long for us to race again. Thankfully, after way too long, we are slowly starting to get back to a bit of normality.
That said, we've had 3 races where our runners took part.
Firstly on 11/04/2021 with the Sport in Action 3 Village 10. A 10 mile 2 lap event that starts and finishes close to Wetheral Community Hall. It takes in the 3 villages of Wetheral, Cumwhinton and Scotby, hence the name.

Clough Head Fell Race 24/04/2021
Part of the Kong Spring Series. A tough 5mile route. The race starts in the quarry and heads straight out to begin the climb up to Clough Head. 1870ft of climbing in a little over 2 miles! That should blow the cobwebs off. From Clough Head, it’s a flying runnable descent to White Pike and then back to the top of the quarry and the finish!
A good turnout, 142 runners.
Stuart Ackerley braved the sunny conditions coming home 62nd in 00:48:57

Kirkbride Half Marathon 25/04/2021
The course takes you one big loop through Kirkbride, Newton Arlosh, Lessonhall then taking a left back towards Kirkbride and the finish. A fast course that is fairly flat.
Ash Ryan back out again, feeling much better than his previous race.
Coming home 20th out of 119 Runners in a time of 01:26:22
Well done both 💪
