Race Date: Tuesday 13th May 2015
Always a popular race on the fell calendar and this year it proved no exception with 288 runners taking part. Think there might have been a few more had in not been sandwiched in between a Trunce and a 5 Miler, but nothing you can do about that.
The race was won by Tommy Horton of SHUOC in 37:13 and the first lady home was Helen Elmore of Dark Peak in 47:07.
25 Striders completed the race with some strong performances.
