Millenium Way Relay, Sun 29 June
Val Kerr reports ...
Our team of 10 Ilkley Harriers had a great day out yesterday on the BMW relay, enjoying a nice friendly race and some good running conditions. Andrew Merrick and Neil Smith got the team off to a speedy start, finishing among the first 10 teams for their leg despite having to run half a mile and one hill further than normal for this leg to avoid a potentially disruptive landowner on Marsh Lane. Adela Reperecki and I enjoyed our run over Keighley Moor and over into Laycock and were happy to hand over to Keith Wood and Lynn Donohue on Leg 3 before the mass start. Driving home I was stopped by a road race marshal in Silsden for Keith and Lynn to cross the road in front of me and hand over to Clare Smith and Elle Bradley on Leg 4. I then raced home, grabbed the dogs and dashed over to Ilkley Moor just in time to see Nigel Tapper and Helen Horton heading up towards Rocky Valley and looking strong on Leg 5. Nigel and Helen brought the team home, finishing in Bingley just before 3.30 pm. Leg times to follow but overall team time around 7h 30min.

Mont Blanc Marathon Race weekend, 27-29 June, Harriers in Chamonix!
From Caz Farrow... Just a brief report on behalf of Alison Eagle & myself....
Fantastic weekend of events in Chamonix including the Skyrunning World Championships which meant some big names were in town, as well as a few Harriers.
Alison Eagle in her first 'Vertical Kilometre' (3.8km long & obviously 1000m ascent!), has found her forte, and had an awesome result, finishing 1st V50 in 58.20
I did the Chamonix Cross (23km, 1665m of ascent, 658m descent), finishing 59th (of 1500) overall in 2hrs 48mins 49secs, and was 4th woman & 1st Vet, despite British Airways losing my luggage!
Kirkby Gala, Sat 28 June
From Jack Wood ... my first BOFRA race of the season. I thought it started at 2 so pedalled furiously from Ulverston train station to get there in time. In fact it was the gala that started at 2 and the fell race wasn't until 4 so I had a couple of hours to sit and eat some cake whilst wellies were wanged around me. The race itself was longer than most BOFRA races (4 miles with 1300 feet of climb). I wouldn't say it was a classic route but there were nice views of the bays either side of Furness and a fast grassy descent down from the moor. I came in 9th, about 5 minutes down on the winner Ted Mason. In the U14 race Euan Brennan was pipped into second place by just 3 seconds.

parkruns, Sat 28 June
From Petra ... Oscar Stapleton (junior) came 2nd this week at Skipton parkrun. It is worth taking a look at Geoff Howard's fantastic times, a regular Harrier parkrunner who consistently achieves an age-grading of between 80 and 85%, something most winners do not even manage! Results ...

North Face Ultra Trail Lavaredo
From Brian Melia ... I ventured to Cortina for the 9th North Face Ultra Trail Lavaredo on the 26th June.
It begins at 11 pm interestingly which you need to think about. I met up my pal Jon Tidd and wife Luciana from Uruguay the day before in Venice in time to travel and register. The kit requirements are slightly more relaxed than UTMB, UTMFuji, but it is a mistake to be out here without full weather gear! and extra gear just in case.
The race is 119km and 5850 m of height and has some massive ups and downs an truly isolated points... I lay around trying to sleep on and off through Friday arriving at the start with Jon about 10.50. The atmosphere although not UTMB was very friendly. The race began uneventfully. I tried to settle without any injury which given the speed of the first descent to the first aid station proved more difficult. Any how all was fine. My biggest problem was to trying to keep awake over the next 5 hours which proved too difficult in the end. I was tripping on some very dangerous paths. I decided a snooze was the best option so lay down on some comfy heather. I was woken 50 minutes later by Jon's wife Luciana laughing her head off wondering why I was sleeping!! From then on I was fine with no fatigue. I ran well over the Forc Lavaredo by the three chimneys at sun up which was simply stunning. There is then a huge leg to the next aid station which I overtook many runners. Equally a very difficult section up and over to col Gallina. Jon dropped here as he was on empty. The scenery was beautiful and had massive vistas I was slightly disorientated which is quite exciting in the race and adds to the mystery of the event. You feel just one more mountain top then Cortina , but it did not work out like that there was always another pass then another!! All totally fabulous.
I finished really strongly in 18hrs 30 mins 28 sec in 77th. Anton Krupicka won the mens and Rory Bosio the ladies. A great event worth the trip and is part of the World Ultra trail Series www.ultratrailworldtour.com. Have a look! www.ultratrail.it
Great Dodd Fell Race, Wed 25 June
Dan Wilkinson reports ... The search for a tune up race for the Kentmere champs race took me to Dockray, where nav4 put on a great low key, mid week, navigational AM (9 miles 2,800Õ) fell race. The running is very similar to Kentmere, almost 100% runnable, over the grassy Dodds. Despite being a Wednesday evening a larger than expected field of around 75 had registered. There were some quality runners there too, including Rhys Findlay Robinson and Kim Collinson. I have history with this race, I first ran it two years ago as a relative novice fell runner, getting horrendously lost in the clag and finishing second last in 1:52.
This year conditions were good; it was quite cool with cloud cover, but not covering the tops this time. I set off with the front runners and kept them in sight almost all the way to the top of Great Dodd. The return leg has lots of route choice, and you either follow well worn trods but run half a mile further or battle through tussocks. I opted for the tussocks following some runners with local knowledge. A significant improvement on 2012, I crossed the line 12th in 1:16:05, Rhys Findlay Robinson won in 1:09:29

Billy Bland Challenge, 20/21 June
From Val Kerr ... A great run out in the Lake District enjoyed by 21 Harriers. What a difference a year makes. This time we were greated by blue skies, sun and heat - the Lake District at its best.
We had changed the start time slightly this year so that Leg 2 would be run in the dark rather than Leg 1. Sarah Edwards, Alistair Barlow, Paul Sowden and Jamie Hutchinson got the relay off to a good start leaving Keswick at 7.00 pm and arriving at Threlkeld, still in daylight, in just under 4 hours at 10.59 pm. Photos were taken quickly due to the clouds of hungry midges and Clare and Neil Smith, John Coates and Andrew Merrick (doing his first ever mountain run, and in the dark) then headed off up the Dodds. Unfortunately, this group had the worst of the conditions with mist on the summits making navigation a bit tricky in the dark. Leg 2 handed over to Dan Wilkinson, Jack Wood and Ben Shepperd at 3.45 am. As expected these three runners ran a really fast leg, despite having had little sleep, this being the longest leg, and stopping to take lots of photos on the way (see facebook) and finished at 9.00 am. Leg 4 runners, consisting of Alison Weston, Kate Archer, Brain Melia, Dick Waddington and Jane McCarthy also ran a really fast leg handing over to Sharon Meadows, Alison Bennett, Adela Reperecki, Val Kerr and Neil Chapman at 13.24 pm. With the end in sight these five runners set off up Dale Hed. The steep scrambled descent of Robinson was easier this year as the rocks were dry and did not look as menacing in the daylight. Stopping for a quick chat with Dave and Kelly Wilby on the way down, we soon hit the road and the temperatures rose as the wind died away. The last mile was a bit of a struggle in the heat but we eventually reached the finish at the Moot Hall at 16.07 pm to be greated by Alison and Kate, followed by fish and chips!
All in all a tremendous day out and some great photographs to show for it. Overall finish time 21h 07 min (2 hrs faster than last year)
Leg 3 report from Dan Wilkinson ...
With a 3:45 scheduled start time we went to bed at 10:30, in our bunkhouse, with the alarm set for 2:45, after mustering up the willpower to leave the pub before closing time! . After 45 minutes we received a text from Val to say that leg one were 30 minutes up. The alarm was reset for 2:15 to allow for a fast leg 2. At 1:30 we finally got to sleep. 45 minutes later we were up eating breakfast and getting ready for the leg..
We jogged over to Dunmail where a middle of the night mini metropolis of BG support was gathered, the weather was fine and spirits among contenders and support was high. We waited whilst a few other attempts passed through, among them Pennine and the imfamous Dark Peak Machine.
Back on schedule at 3:45 prompt Andrew and Clare appeared off the hill and after a last minute decision to ditch our head torches we were off. The pace was pretty quick and we passed the Dark Peak machine within 2 minutes and were on top of Steel Fell in just over 15 minutes, we continued on to Calf Crag as the sun rose. Next was the steady climb up to the Langdales. The going underfoot was great, the bogs of last months recce had dried up into spongy grass and we were maintaining a great pace. As we reached Sergeant Man we entered the clag and spotted the Pennine BG attempt. We overtook them over High Raise and continued running in the clag until we saw the sky appear at Harrison Stickle.
We were greeted with some of the most amazing views I've ever seen in the lakes, we were above a bank of cloud inversion that seemed as if it was about to tumble out of the plateau and into Langdale, with one side the sun rising and the other side a Brocken Spectre, a magical experience! Next we made our way to Pike O' Stickle, getting briefly lost in the clag.
Next was a nice easy run down to Langdale Combe. We picked up some water from the beck and had some food then began the contouring climb to Rossett Pike. We were rewarded with some fine views of Langdale as we made our way to the summit, then is was back into the clag for the traverse to Bowfell.
We stayed in the clag for a couple of hours as we picked out way steadily across the boulders of Bowfell, Esk Pike, Great End, Ill and Broad Crag and finally Scafell Pike. the cloud broke as we picked our way past lots of walkers on the way to Mickledore. We stopped to admire Broad Stand for a moment before making our way across to Lords Rake. I was first up followed by a now very tired Jack and a tentative Ben, we joined the West Wall traverse then finally the steep scramble out of Deep Gill to the top of Scafell where we had superb views across Wast Water.
We now had 28 minutes to hand over to leg 4 if we were to keep to my revised schedule of 5:15, it was going to be a long descent from 3,162 ft. We set off at a blistering pace down the stone path, almost race pace. Soon the running was easier as we left the main path headed for the scree. Still no time to pause for photos here as we dived down the scree at full pelt towards to the tourist path and our handover at Wasdale head.
We made our rendezvous at 9:00am dead, bang on schedule, and after a few photos the leg 4 team were off. All in all it was a fantastic mornings running and a great event, huge thanks to Val for organising.

Dick Waddington had another superb race finishing 1 minute in front in 3h34. This is a truly stunning race. So much so that I stopped to take half a dozen photos at various points. Anybody who was disappointed that The Wharfedale Off Road Marathon didn't run this year should come up & do this next year. At the finish I got collared by a runner who told me it was the Ilkley Trail Race that got him in to fell running! Results ...

Ennerdale Horseshoe, Sat 7 June
Dan Wilkinson reports ...
We arrived exited for this super long Lakes classic, the entry list read like a who's who of fell running. The forecast looked grim, but with cooling rain and low cloud I was looking forward to the race. When we arrived at race HQ there were rumours of a route change. When this was finally posted there were lots of disappointed mumblings. Due to lightning risk the route had been changed to a low level trail run taking in Buttermere, Scarth Gap pass and the forest trail back to the end of the lake. In the end I retired at checkpoint one after having to stop with a severe stitch for several minutes, once I knew a Champs point was out of the question I pulled out to save my legs for the rest of the season, not a route that I wanted to run for fun, but I fully respect the decision made to protect our and the marshals' safety.
