Ellenborough AC

Ellenborough AC was started in 1958 by Raymond & Mary Thompson. A small running club based in West Cumbria. In 2009 a senior men’s team was put together and introduced Ellenborough AC to the fell running fraternity. Although we run in all forms, it’s fell running where we are mainly associated.

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 🥇

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 Bull
Ash Fryer

Leg 2
Peter Kemp
Shaun Atkinson

Leg 3
Chris Lister
Rich McGrath

Leg 4
Dava Williams
Will Houghton

Another great day out. Looking forward to next year already. Hopefully we’ll have a fully fit team that’s trained for it 😂

Club member Joe Bull went to look for Nessie today 🐍
Somewhere along the line he took a wrong turn and ended up in the Loch Ness marathon.

Smashed it 💪
No sign of nessie though.

Race description from Joe
‘Absolutely horrendous’

Pleased he enjoyed it.
