It's that racing time of year...

Brighton Marathon

Three of the club’s intrepid Marathon runners were in action this weekend, tackling the undulating course at Brighton.  Brighton Marathon has achieved a certain level of notoriety amongst the Lions in recent years on account of the mentally challenging nature of its route.  Participants have to run three times out and back through a soulless industrial harbour area and past a power station.  Race reviews describe it as “brutal, ugly, windy, and no crowd.”

Results: Wendy Goodwin 4:44:05, Angela Goulden 4:48:33, Jayne Rhodes 5:01:13
 

Bunny Runs

Paul Patrick completed his hat trick of Bunny Runs last week, running the third and final race of the series.  Each Bunny Run is a mini fell race over moorland terrain at Haworth.

Result: Paul Patrick 23:40
 

Old Colliery Canter 10K and Half Marathon

The annual Old Colliery Canter races took place on Saturday at Rabbit Ings Country Park near Barnsley.  The site is located on the former colliery yard and spoil heap of the Monkton Colliery.  There were some issues with route finding on the day as runners attempted to navigate the complex and winding course, but at least the sun came out.

Result (10K): Zoe Lunn 1:11:04

Results (Half Marathon): Kim Ison 2:22:59, Zoe Mallinson 2:25:13
 

Vale of York 10 Mile

A strong run from Helen Armitage saw her finish 1st F50 at the Vale of York 10 Mile race.  The route, which is fast and flat, starts on the runway at Rufforth airfield, home to the York Gliding Centre.  Several club members achieved personal best times on the day.

Results: Helen Armitage 1:17:29, Diane Thornley 1:29:54, Joanne Cooke 1:30:40, Catherine McHugh 1:31:19, Paul Armitage 1:31:56, Dawn Medlock 1:36:59, Manjit Ahiar 1:45:36, Helen Shenton 1:46:43
 

The Overgate 5K/10K Challenge

Lions made up a significant percentage of the runners at the Overgate Challenge, the popular annual charity fundraiser for Overgate Hospice.  The total field of 372 included over 60 Lions, many of whom have first hand experience of the wonderful work that the hospice does.  Cool weather made for pleasant running conditions – and even the fog was welcome, hiding just how much further it was to the top of Ogden.  The Lions secured an array of category wins, with John Bassinder (1st M60), Aileen Baldwin (1st F65 in a remarkable time of 48:26) Jan King (1st M65) and Holly Maddocks (1st F U23) all taking honours for the club.  Full results are below, with category placings in bold.

Wardle Skyline and Gisborough Moors Fell Races

David Culpan represented the Lions on the fells in both the Wardle Skyline and the oddly spelt Gisborough Moors Fell Races.  The Wardle Skyline takes place near Rochdale, and is 7 miles long with 1,250 feet of ascent.  The Gisborough Moors Race covers a distance of about 12 miles with 2,600 feet of ascent, and takes in the summits of Roseberry Topping, Captain Cooks and Highcliffe Nab, with spectacular views from the tops.  Official results are a closely guarded secret, but David’s own records show a time of 1:12:46 at Wardle and 2:03:04 at Gisborough Moors.

Marathon season is upon us

The Spring Marathon season officially got underway this weekend.  It was A Tale of Two Cities, with Lions aiming for the best of times at both Paris and Manchester.
 

Paris Marathon

This race across Paris, taking in the Champs Elysées, the Bois de Vincennes and Boulogne, offers an incomparable backdrop, with spectacular views and landmarks all along the route.  Nine Lions took part, in extremely warm conditions, urged on by their loyal support crew who had made the journey across the Channel to cheer them round the course.

Results: Tim Walker 4:24:31, Mick Porter 5:01:52, Gareth Webb 5:11:19, Holly Maddocks 5:11:19, Anne-Marie Killeen 5:13:37, Anne Cawdron 5:36:30, Colette Croft 5:36:53, Linda Williamson 5:42:43, Jackie Barker 5:46:14

Many of the Paris Marathon runners and supporters took the opportunity to try Montsouris parkrun the day before the big race – and amazing veteran Lioness Bernadette Rowland set a new VW80 time of 40:15 over the 5K course.  Allez Bernadette!
 

Manchester Marathon

Starting and finishing at Old Trafford, the Manchester Marathon attracted its biggest ever field this year.  Ed Hyland led the Lions home in an excellent time, and there were several other strong performances and personal bests on the day.

Results: Ed Hyland 2:40:55, Sean Thompson 3:04:33, Clayton Cutter 3:18:40, Richard Cade 3:21:45, Richard Heaton 3:42:00, Jan King 3:46:27, Cat Daniel 3:55:23, Gail Schofield 4:22:59
 

Mags and Lucy finish 1st Lady and 3rd Lady at Baildon Boundary Way

The in-form Mags Beever continued her excellent season, finishing 1st Lady at the Baildon Boundary Way Trail Half Marathon.  Lucy Collins (making her return to racing after a lay off) was hot on her heels, finishing 3rd Lady.

Results: Mags Beever 1:40:15, Lucy Collins 1:45:29, Damien Pearson 1:48:19, Julie Field 1:55:04, Derek Doyle 1:57:52, Amanda Zito 1:58:06, Alex Whyte 2:54:58
 

Sheffield Half Marathon

This demanding half marathon reward runners with spectacular views of the Peak District and various city landmarks.  Starting in the City Centre, runners travel down the ‘Eccy’ Road, passing Encliffe Park and the outskirts of Dore before returning to the City Centre to finish in front of the Town Hall.  The rapidly improving Michelle “Rocket” Rogerson was first Lion to finish, just ahead of partner Ian.

Results: Michelle Rogerson 1:46:00, Ian Hoskins 1:47:27
 

Thirsk 10 Mile

The Thirsk 10 has been held for over 30 years and provides a fast flat course which lends itself to a fast time and gives all abilities a chance of achieving a personal best.  It also boasts a main grandstand finish at Thirsk Racecourse!  It was Steve Hallam’s chance to shine on the day, leading the pack of Lions home in a return to full fitness after recent ill health.

Results: Steve Hallam 1:17:21, Rebecca O’Neill 1:23:35, Liz Hallam 1:31:46
 

Bunny Runs

Just one Lion at Haworth for the second of this year’s series of Bunny Runs.  181 runners took part this week.  Torrential rain earlier in the day and on the previous day meant there was lots of mud on offer.  Despite the mud, Paul Patrick managed to knock over 30 seconds off his time from last week’s race.

Result: Paul Patrick 23:33

Easter Weekend Racing

Lots of racing over the Easter weekend!
 

Bunny Runs

Taking advantage of the lighter evenings, four Lions hopped over to Haworth for the first of this year’s series of Bunny Runs.  These popular midweek mini cross country races usually attract around 200 runners, all vying for the chance to win armfuls of chocolate and Cadbury’s Creme Eggs.

Results: Kevin Jaggar 24:00, Julie Field 24:11, Paul Patrick 24:13, Ray Mooney 28:52
 

New Club Record for Mags at Salford 10K

The two lap undulating course attracted a field of 630 runners this year.

Results: Mags Beever 37:56, Lorraine Naylor 44:03
 

 The Lakes Mountain 42

Ultra runner James Penson was in action again on Easter Saturday, tackling the Lakes Mountain 42.  After a dawn start, James was expecting to have to run 42 technical miles of tough, unmarked mountain trails with around 10,000 feet of ascent including the summits of Helvellyn and High Street.  In the event, severe weather and treacherous conditions on the tops resulted in the race being shortened to “only” 27 miles.

Results: James Penson 6 hours 16 minutes
 

The Ballyliffin International Coastal Challenge

Maria Harron ran this scenic 10 mile race in Ireland on Easter Saturday.  Set on the wild Atlantic Way, it’s been dubbed “Ireland’s most spectacular race”.  The event is unique in that the final two miles are run on Pollan Beach.  The entire course fringes the sea, with the beautiful backdrop of Malin Head.  Maria ran a personal best time to finish 6th lady.

Result: Maria Harron 75:19
 

Helmsley 10K

A bumper weekend of racing for the Lions, from 10Ks right up to Ultra Marathon distance.
 

London Landmarks Half Marathon

Ten Lions ran the inaugural London Landmarks Half Marathon.  They joined 10,000 other runners on the start line on Pall Mall, and enjoyed fabulous views of London's major landmarks including Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral, Nelson's Column, the Gherkin, the Shard, the Tower of London and the London Eye.

David Culpan (making a rare foray down to lower ground from his natural habitat up in the hills) led the Lions home in a new club M55 record time, and there were several personal bests to celebrate on the day.

Results: David Culpan 1:36:20, Richard Crombie 1:37:16, Tim Walker 1:52:22, Andrew Falkingbridge 1:58:28, Cat Daniel 1:59:06, Jenny Walker 2:06:00, Trish Hallowell 2:36:40, Gail Fawcett 2:36:40, Renee Comerford 2:48:14, Avril Smith 2:48:19

Results: Tanya Blake 1:35:41, Craig Miller 1:35:41

Results: Sarah Lunt 5:26:15, Roy Lunt 5:26:16

This weeks snow report - 23 March

Langsett 10K Trail Race
 

Heavy snow caused virtually every race on the calendar to be cancelled last weekend.  The Langsett 10K Trail Race was one of the few races to go ahead.  Lions Ray Mooney, Moira Alderson and Rikki Hammond were booked onto the Langsett 13 Mile Trail Race scheduled for the same day, but the organisers Peakrunners only held the 10K version, and so the three Lions happily switched to that race instead.

The race is a relative newcomer on the calendar, having only been held twice before.  100 runners took part this year, running from the beautiful village of Langsett on the edge of the Peak District National Park.  The course was billed as a super-fast technical route, but the snowy conditions made for very heavy going and inevitably slower times.

The route twists through beautiful forest hard packed trails, and includes some nice climbs with a fantastic downhill to the finish.

Commenting afterwards, Moira said “I was fortunate to be able to join the Langsett 10K Trail Race today with so many other races cancelled.  It was a great day out.”

Results: Ray Mooney 1:05:03, Moira Alderson 1:06:50, Rikki Hammond 1:10:10

This week in Races - 9th March

Queensbury Cross Country
 

In a week when the Beast from the East caused virtually every race on the calendar to be cancelled, the West Yorkshire Winter League declared (after a last minute course inspection) that their much anticipated Queensbury race could go ahead.  Sunday’s race marked the end of the 2017/8 cross country series, a series which has been notable for its exceptionally snowy conditions throughout.  The Queensbury event had already been rescheduled from its original date before Christmas when snow stopped play.  Over 40 Lions were on the start line at Foster Park, which resembled a scene from Narnia.  The entire course was blanketed in snow, and as the runners set off into the woods, more snow fell and continued to fall heavily throughout the race.

Team Stainland had a fantastic day.  Margaret Beever capped off a magnificent season with her 4th win from six races, securing her individual prize as 1st Lady for the season.  The Lions also scooped the Ladies Team on the day and retained the trophy for this season as top Ladies Team.

The Men put in another strong performance and finished second behind Baildon on the day and runners up for the season.

The Lions’ Vets team of Gavin Mulholland, Mark Pottinger and Margaret Beever claimed first place on Sunday too and retained the Vets trophy for Team Stainland.

Cross Country Captain Tim Walker said “Well done to everyone who turned up at Queensbury this morning and what a race it was - true Winter League stuff played out in true Queensbury Spring conditions!”

This week in races - 2nd March

Midgley Moor Fell Race

Saturday saw perfect conditions for the annual Midgley Moor fell race.  The challenging 5 mile race over paths and heather moorland raises funds for Springhill Hospice in Rochdale.  Two Lions raced the course, crossing the line within seconds of each other.

Results: Martin O’Brien 1:00:13, David Culpan 1:00:36

Snake Lane 10 Mile

Five Lions headed to East Yorkshire to take part in the popular Snake Lane 10 mile road race.  The route is in and around Pocklington, and is run over relatively flat terrain.  All the Lions gave of their best, and there were some very quick times recorded.

Results: Gavin Foster 1:01:08 (PB), Chris Hall 1:03:13 (PB), Craig Miller 1:05:29, Andy Baird 1:07:23 (PB), Ginny Rushworth 1:53:18

Huddersfield 10K

Over in Huddersfield, half a dozen Lions raced the hilly Huddersfield 10K.  Starting from Huddersfield Rugby Club at Lockwood, the route climbs steadily up to the village of Netherton, then crosses the beautiful Magdale valley before a long steady descent back to the rugby club.  Derek Parrington was first Lion home and 3rd M50.

Results: Derek Parrington 41:21, David Roberts 42:21, David Waite 51:40, Jan King 52:57, Diane Waite 54:10 Emma Taylor 69:21

Stainland Cross Country

The sun shone on Stainland Lions as they hosted the penultimate race of the 2017/8 West Yorkshire Winter League cross country series on Sunday.  Conditions were ideal, and there was a huge turnout of runners enjoying the hills, mud and legendary log flume feature on the course.  Tom Collinge took the overall win for Queensbury Running Club, while in-form Lioness Margaret Beever was 1st Lady.  The host team battled hard to win the Vets Category and finished second in all other categories.  Cross Country Captain Tim Walker thanked all the runners and volunteers for making the event such a success.  The raffle raised £130 for Overgate Hospice.

This week in races - 23rd February

Flower Scar Fell Race

Thirteen Lions headed to Todmorden on Saturday to tackle the steep climbs, rough moorland terrain and fast descents of the annual Flower Scar Fell Race. 185 runners completed the 13K route in wintry conditions, with reduced visibility and mist on the tops. Julie Field and Aileen Baldwin both put in brilliant performances to finish 1st in their respective age categories, while John Bassinder ran well to finish runner up in the M60 category.

Results: Andrew Earnshaw 1:34:39, John Bassinder 1:38:15, Julie Field 1:39:30, Kevin Jaggar 1:40:36, Martin O’Brien 1:42:41, David Culpan 1:43:59, Aileen Baldwin 1:45:42, Colin Hughes 1:51:26, Raymond Mooney 1:55:04, Steve Boyer 2:15:30, Angela Lee 2:16:21, Sharon Marlor-Gage 2:16:22, Rikki Hammond 2:16:23

Great North West Half Marathon

A fast and flat course around the coastal front of Blackpool, the Great North West Half Marathon is billed as a great race for a personal best, and an ideal warm up race for April marathons such as London.  Clayton Cutter was the Lions’ sole representative, completing the course in a new personal best time of 1:36:18.

Liversedge Half Marathon

Liversedge Half Marathon proved popular with the Lions, who turned out in force to run the undulating route in good conditions on Sunday.  Darren Young finished 3rd M45 of a competitive field of almost 500 runners.

Results: Darren Young 1:24:12, John Ingles 1:44:56, Paul Corns 1:51:49, Jan King 1:53:42, Tim Walker 2:00:03, Gail Schofield 2:04:36, Kim Ison 2:10:07, Paula Pickersgill 2:10:38, Sandy Gee 2:11:17, Martin Carr 2:17:14, Jenny Walker 2:18:16, Zoe Mallinson 2:19:39, Debbie Hyde 2:22:04, Alex Whyte 2:25:11, Anne Cawdron 2:29:13, Linda Williamson 2:29:20, Carol Heptonstall 2:33:10
