The now 43 year old Ian Holmes left the other 305 contenders in his wake
on a day of what could be termed as Spring-like conditions up on Penistone
Hill. The best thing to come out of Switzerland since cuckoo clocks and chocolate,
Sabine Hauswirth, continued with her winning runs in England.
The junior Soreen races saw 21 more competitors than last year, making it 141 to toe the line this time, and tackle the very muddy bottom of Penistone quarry.
Let's hope some of these juniors tuck in to their malt
loaves, like 14 times senior winner Ian Holmes does, then the future of fell running will be awesome. A very big thank you must go to Soreen for their support,
which is very much appreciated by all the runners who have competed in this race for the last 26 years, long may it continue.

The Sun Inn, where we normally have the presentation of prizes, is under refurbishment. They were going to open up for us, but it's just not possible. So we will be going to the Kings Arms, just 100 yards away at the top of the main street in Howarth. Please park in the normal places, and we can use the Sun Inn car park, and it will be signed from there. The Kings Arms will be laying on free chilli (with a veggie chilli option).
