Holme Moss Fell Race 19 July 2015

Having acquired a strange and mysterious leg injury out 'over-recceing' Holme Moss route this week, I found myself in the marvellous situation of being able to simply report on the race!

The start - Helen Berry was the only runner going through the puddles.

Jean Shotter took a couple of inventive little movies at this point (is she starting to be a fell race reporter I wonder - yes let's hope so) Jean's BAFTA winning recordings are on our twitter feed. Give me a shout if you cant find them (linking to them has foxed me).

Matt Lalor 

Matt Lalor and Tim Budd appeared from the direction of Holme Moss together, leaving just the down and up of Ramsden Clough and then the flat track and killer road section to fight it out for the win. Matt obviously had a bit left in the tank as he took the win by over a minute. 

Tim Budd

Mark Ollerenshaw was a little way behind them and perhaps the welcome drink of water provided by Holmfirth Harriers at the top of Ramsden Clough, gave him enough to push on to keep 3rd place.

Helen Berry stormed to finish almost first vet overall, but certainly 6th breaking the 3 hour mark and setting a new PB on 'holme' territory of 2:56:57. She was very pleased with this result and certainly very pleased with her prize - a holiday at Pyrenees Haven and a pair of socks.

The results have been sent to Holmfirth Harriers to check and put on the website but in the meantime here is a copy as I doubled up a results assistant after my spell of journalism. Mossienet was out on course so keep an eye out for his photos and don't forget to give to his charity!
