Wednesday evening saw twenty-five senior members of Radcliffe AC at the Black Knight Charge 6 Mile Trail Race in Ashton-Under-Lyne.
Held by the East Cheshire Harriers, this race took runners through the tracks and paths of Daisy Nook, with hilly sections looping around Park Bridge. The first from the club to conquer the endless stepped climbs along the route was Khama Banda in 39:16. Other results included Christopher Mihalyi (45:12), Mark Taylor (49:49), Paul Stevens (50:35), Adrian Ashburn (51:32), Mark Garner (51:54), Kath Biddle (54:07), Lucie Tighe (56:11), Charlene Leyden (57:15), Lisa Antrobus (57:25), Dominic Parry (58:12), Ethan Malone (58:29), Alison Howarth (59:52), Steve Hamer (1:03:55), John Szubert (1:04:15), Elaine Bailey (1:05:53), Lisa Riley (1:08:34), Charlotte Holden (1:09:22), David Bartlett (1:09:35), Helen Kay (1:16:22), Tracy Wroe (1:19:06), Sara Parry (1:25:18), Bev Quinton (1:27:52), Michael Scott (1:27:59) and Andy Wheeler (1:33:33).
Five junior members of the club also entered the 2-mile under-16 event. Seth sped round the challenging course in 15:14, followed by Indie (16:00), Skyler (22:02), Isla (22:34) and Benjamin (22:40).
Kath Biddle’s latest ultra (and second race of the week) was the Yorkshire Wolds 55k on Saturday, setting off from Pocklington. Designed to take racers to the less trodden trails, this ultra included 4,100ft of climb across hidden valleys and through wild grass meadows. After travelling through the picturesque villages of Givendale, Bishop Wilton, Kirby Underdale, Thixendale, Huggate and Fridaythorpe, Kath finished in 7:04:53.
