Reeth Show Fell Race

Richard & Zetland athletes have been looking towards the hills to find some races over the last few weeks. At the Reeth Show fell race over the August Bank Holiday two Richmond & Zetland harriers took part. The first was Marc Scot in the under 14 age group. He was leading until he took a wrong turn at one of the stiles along the route and could make up the distance on the eventual winner. As with all fell races navigation is always plays a part. He came second in a time of 16.33 from a field of 8 competitors.

Erica Moks took part in the Senior ladies race. She was 3rd lady back in a time of 25.43 and taking 20th place overall from a field of 27 competitors.

Shaun Purkiss and Tad Zaranko traveled a little far afield to the island of Bute not far from the Scottish main land.

Shaun finished in 13th place in a time of 36min 50 secs and Tad finished in 15th place in 37 min 48 secs.
