For anyone who fancies a challenge, you need not look any further than the Charnwood Hills Fell Race. The course is approx 14 miles long and follows public footpaths and open country involving 1200 feet of ascent over Bradgate , Broombriggs and Beacon Hill Country Parks. The going is varied between trails, paths, ditches, streams and of course hills. The wind played a massive part in this year's challenge, battering the 500 strong field.
Seven mad NRR members were good for the challenge and in 40th place overall was Gary McDaniels in 1:43:31. Steph Russell continued her amazing form and was the 4th lady in 1:44:47. Andy Blaize made his return to racing with a 1:47:34 finish and Mark Garrett broke the two hour barrier in 1:59:02. Mark Kennedy who is enjoying his off road season finished in 2:06:32 and John Fleming smashed over 15 minutes off his last year's time with 2:11:40. Jo Smith completed a fine day crossing the line in 2:31:19.
