Ian Hodgson Mountain Relays

On Sunday it was the Ian Hodgson Mountain Relays, with many members of Team Inov8 running for their clubs. The relays are centred around brothers water with 4 legs, each for 2 runners. The first leg goes from Sykeside capsite to Kirstone pass, the second from Kirkstone pass to Hartsop via High Street, the third from Hartsop to Patterdale via Angle tarn and the fourth from Patterdale back to Sykeside via St Sunday crag and Hart Crag. It was nice weather! I could see where I was running which I haven't often done in these relays and there were some very fast runs!
Morgan Donelly was part of the winning Borrowdale Team who took almost 4minutes off their record for the course!
Oli Johnson was running for Dark Peak who came in 3rd mens team and Dave Wilby was running for the Ilkley team who came in 12th with James Kevan in the Horwich team less than a minute behind Ilkley in 13th.
In the womens race Heather Dawe was part of the Ilkley team who came in 2nd ladies team! Dark Peak ladies took the win with a spectacular last leg run!
In the mixed teams, Borrowdale took the win, with Steve Birkenshaw running the final leg, and I ran for Pennine Fell Runners who were 2nd.
A great collection of results!
