National X-Country Championships, Roundhay Park, Leeds - Saturday 27th February 2010
What a fabulous celebration of club athletics this event is where your average scrubber gets the chance to rub shoulders with the elite (well for the first 400 metres anyway). Two laps for the ladies and three for the men, the course was packed with spectators providing ample encouragement all the well round especially at the infamous hill 60. (That marshall at the bottom of hill 60 who was behaving as though he ought to be sectioned was John Lunn by the way). Some parts of the course were short cropped grass, others ankle deep mud where all the previous races had churned the the course up. Great atmosphere and a true cross country course even if we never had a hope. Carol Beattie, along with about fifty others still queuing to have their chips checked, missed the start. She gave the rest of the field about twenty seconds head start! The winning time is the ladies race was 27:52 and there were 505 finishers. The winning time in the mens race was 38:01, there were 1428 finishers and Striders team finished 71st out of 107 teams.

Tigger Tor Fell Race - Sunday 31st January 2010 (full results)
Twas a cold and frosty late morning start for this midwinter lung-bursting bog-trot over 9 miles and 1800' of ascent around Burbage and Hounkirk Moor. Conditions underfoot varied from frozen earth/trail/peat to shin deep marsh to sheet ice and snow which made for a very tricky, technical race in some parts. This year's addition of a steep descent and ascent off Houndkirk Tor in the last mile of the course added to the toughness. The whole route was very well marshalled - a considerable achievement considering how cold it must have been in the wind on top of Higger Tor. All in all though it was a great start to the local fell running year and all for a fiver (for those who got in early).
