Race date: Thursday 10th August 2017
Kindly organised by the Matlock Athletic Club this 7.3 km race includes about 240m of ascent in the stunning Darley Dale area. Matlock’s race report is a good reference.
151 runners took part (ie managed to drag themselves away, at speed, from the pub at the start). Ben Cartwright of Matlock AC beat everybody else in a very quick 30:37. Beth Pascall (I suspect she won the Humber Bridge Half Marathon as well) was first woman home in 34:03.
According to the results sheet, 3 Striders finished the course – congratulations Fran, Mark and Bob.
