A good senior turnout for the slightly extended course which makes more use of Holgates part of the woods.
Congratulations to 1st man home Carl Bell of Howgill Harriers, and 1st lady Evelyn Dugdale from Kendal AC.

Despite the good weather junior numbers were down on previous years but the high level of enthuasiasm and effort was maintained.

Thanks to Holgates for their help and letting us use their land as the race venue, and the National Trust for their help and co-operation on the route within Eaves Wood and our race supporter The Runners Centre Lancaster who donated the excellent junior prizes.

Thanks also go to John's team at the hall for providing the after race refreshments.These were in the entry fee for runners but £62.36 was also raised by donations from friends and families and this will go to Mountain Rescue.

Thanks for such a good turn out and to all the Dallamites for their help on the day.
It was also nice to see some old friends.
A big thank you to Holgates and The National Trust for their continuing help and co-operation.
Hopefully everyone had a fun day out,including the local who decided to remove some of the tape towards Elmslack before the race started.
